Does anyone have any suggestions how to describe the size something without using modern western items? Bigger than a bread box doesn't really work in Rokugan.
Depending on size: bigger/smaller than a sake/rice barrel, scroll satchel (kind of closer to a breadbox), small animal that fits the size category, large animal that fits the size category...
Crab version: Bigger/small than a finger of jade. Bigger/smaller than a goblin. Bigger/small than a troll. Bigger/smaller than Hida Kisada.
May not work well outside of Crab lands though

Ishioka definitely speaks enough Crab to track this. Although his comprehension fizzles a little trying to distinguish size of troll vs size of Kisada. Both are "f-ing bigger than me!"

Also for the record Hida Kisada is bigger than Kyuden Hida and its decorative oni skull.
No one denies this.

Bigger/smaller than a carrot, bigger/smaller than a zucchini, bigger/smaller than a cucumber. Were you looking for something like that for a size comparison?
