Used for grain and liquids such as sake and oil, they served households, trade, and taxation, measuring a fixed volume when filled level with the rim. During the medieval period, different estates and authorities used masu of varying capacities, so historical measures were not always equivalent to modern ones.\n\nIn the late sixteenth century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi promoted the kyō-masu, or “Kyoto measure,” alongside his land surveys to provide a common basis for calculating agricultural production. In 1669, the Tokugawa shogunate ordered adoption of a new kyō-masu. Official standardization did not erase every local difference: domains continued to use varying measures for tax collection and rice stipends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese natural wood chopsticks are finished with urushi lacquer and gold maki-e decoration, connecting an everyday dining utensil with this Japanese decorative lacquer tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Shipping Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips safely from Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast \u0026amp; reliable international shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImport duties, taxes, and customs fees are not included in the product price or shipping cost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny applicable duties, taxes, or customs fees are the responsibility of the buyer and may be charged upon delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustoms regulations and applicable rates vary by country or region.
