This humidifier was inspired by the shape of a yacht and material of traditional masu sake cups. The unique shape is not only beautiful but also highly practical. The water in the container in the bottom is absorbed by the sheets where they evaporate six time faster than water in a bowl.
It also is very ecological since it is made from only natural materials and functions without making any noise or using any electricity. The hinoki cypress also diffuses a nice scent of wood. Please note that the level of humidification by no means matches the levels of electric humidifiers.
Masuya is a company specialized in the manufacturing of masu sake cups. It is located in Ogaki city, which accounts for about 80% of the production of masu cups in Japan. Masuya also developed a range of contemporary products inspired by masu cups made of Hinoki cypress.
Masu cups have played an important part in Japanese traditions for over 1300 years. The small square cups made of Hinoki wood were originally used to measure rice and other food items, especially when they were still a trading currency.
MASUYA was established in 1950 and has been making high-quality masu cups for over 60 years. Next to traditional masu cups, they also have a wide range of other Hinoki products, including a unique, ecological humidifier, drinking sets, and even customizable cups.
