Description

This sauce plate features the tokusa pattern extending from the center with a petal-like design. 

Beloved since the Edo period (1603–1868 CE), this pattern of straight vertical lines is inspired by the Japanese plant tokusa, known in English as rough horsetail. It is regarded as a symbol of growth and prosperity as it grows unwaveringly upwards.

It is a perfect small plate for serving sauces or snacks like nuts and candies. Or you may put a small portion of food or relishes in, and place it on a larger plate or in a bento box for a stylish and sophisticated food presentation.

Cool Off With Shades of Blue

Bring Japanese hues into your space this summer with tableware and decor in shades of blue. Featuring minimalist geometric patterns, modern styles, and intricately painted designs, the items in this collection are sure to introduce a little extra zing to your late-summer table.

One of the most classic Japanese blues is cobalt: a rich, bold color that works as well as a statement piece as it does as a backdrop for food or a canvas for detail. You will often find cobalt blues contrasted with pure white, a timeless pairing known in Japanese as sometsuke. Another favorite is navy blue, a sophisticated color seen throughout Japanese art. Adding navy is a great way to ground a table. Last but not least is mizu-iro, literally “water blue,” a pale aqua that suggests the refreshing coolness of the ocean.

So, embrace the rich palette of blue and rejuvenate your final weeks of summer.
