Masu boxes were originally square wooden containers used in Japan to measure rice. This paper version keeps the same simple shape, but is quick to fold and very practical. You can use it to hold small items like paper clips, candies, or anything you want to keep organized. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to fold both the classic lid and a shallow lid. The classic lid is easier and a good place to start if you’re new to origami. The shallow lid looks cleaner and is easier to use, but it requires a bit more precision, so it’s better suited if you already have some folding experience. Once finished, the box holds together well on its own. If a flap doesn’t sit perfectly flat inside, you can press it down with what you put inside, or use a little bit of glue if needed.
