This unique Masu Cups are burned with Japanese characters to represent the saying "笑う門には福来る" (warau kado ni ha fukukitaru), meaning: Good Fortune and Happiness will come to the Home of those who Smile"; A phrase similar to the English "Laugh and Grow Fat!".
This set of cups is designed as a decoration piece for the entry hallway - which in Japan are often decorated with spiritual signs and good-fortune wishing items, like the famous lucky cat.
The cups are printed and handled one by one, making a strong impression and a deep print that can be spotted from far away. Further decorate them with flowers or pictures, or use the boxes for small items, like your keys!
Wish for your- and your loved ones' happiness with this beautiful Japanese phrase on traditional, handcrafted artworks.
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.
