Refs: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masu_(measurement) A masu (枡 ("square") or 升 ("measure")[1]) was originally a square wooden box used to measure rice in Japan during the feudal period. |

Comments: | Do we need a dedicated sense for the wooden box pictured here: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/枡 Or just do an image search for: 升 (copious and unambiguous results) Clearly the box itself is something recognizable in its own right. I came here from 升売り, which referenced the existence of a "wooden masu box". But I don't see that specifically in any of the current senses. Something like: [5] traditional a square wooden box used to measure rice and other foods by volume Or something... Maybe this should replace [1]. Perhaps the current "measuring container" itself is too general... |
