Originally used as a measuring device for selling things by weight, it can now be seen in a variety of situations. It is especially known for being used when enjoying sake and for the bean-throwing ceremony on Setsubun. In this article, we will introduce the charm of the masu and how to use it in an easy-to-understand way for people from overseas.</span></span></p>

The masu was originally used as a tool to measure grains such as rice. It is generally made of wood and is square in shape. In Japan, it has long been considered a symbol of &quot;honesty&quot; and has been used as a sign of trust in business.</span></span></p>

The custom of drinking sake from a masu is especially seen in celebratory and formal occasions. A full masu of sake literally means &quot;enough sake to fill the masu,&quot; symbolizing an abundance of abundance and happiness. In addition, the sense of unity and sharing that comes from drinking sake from a masu creates a uniquely Japanese form of communication and deepens the bonds between participants.</span></span></p>

Masu is also used to throw beans on Setsubun. Setsubun bean-throwing is a traditional event to ward off evil spirits and invite good fortune into the home. The beans are measured in a masu, and then the family members pray for health and happiness for the year by chanting &quot;good fortune in, demons out&quot; while throwing the beans.</span></span></p>
