Vintage Japanese Lacquered Wood Masu Set

This set provides three different sizes: 200ml, 1 liter, and 2 liters. They stack inside each other for easy storage. They are coated in a rich dark brown lacquer and have the measurements as well as stamped kanji on the sides. Likewise, these make great boxes for storage and decoration.
