This Japanese porcelain sweets plate with tokusa (horsetail) pattern is a classic, elegant piece of Japanese tableware, widely used to serve wagashi (Japanese sweets) or other snacks. Plates of this kind are loved for their distinctive tokusa pattern and fine porcelain.
Tokusa Mon is a traditional Japanese pattern that goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868), known for its plain yet elegant design of fine stripes. The pattern stands for prosperity and long life, since "tokusa" means "ten grasses" in Japanese, suggesting abundance and variety. It is usually rendered in blue and white, reflecting the traditional Japanese sense of beauty.
