Weighing device - Oryoki

Japanese: 応量器 - おうりょうき
Weighing device - Oryoki
A type of tableware used by monks for meals, consisting of a set of different sized nested bowls, chopsticks, spoons, etc. Also used for begging (walking around begging for rice or money). Originally a term used in the Soto sect, other sects have their own terms, but this is the commonly known term. ◇It is said to have been named after the bowls used, which were sized according to the amount of food to be put in them. Originally made of iron, black lacquerware came to be used as it was considered the same as iron, and today black lacquerware is more common. This is why it is sometimes called "iron bowl". It is also called "ouki".

Japanese:
僧が食事に用いる、入れ子にできる大きさの違う鉢、箸、さじなどが一組になっているうつわ類。托鉢(たくはつ)(米や金銭を乞うて歩く修行)にも用いる。元来は曹洞宗で用いる語で、他の宗派にはそれぞれの用語があるが、一般的にはこの語が知られる。◇入れるものの量に応じた大きさの鉢を用いることからこの名があるとされる。鉄製の鉢であったが、黒塗りは鉄と同じとみなして漆器を用いるようになり、こんにちでは黒塗りの漆器のほうが一般的。「鉄鉢(てっぱつ)」ということがあるのは、このためである。「応器」ともいう。
