Three individual plates from Koyo Toki Kaisha. These are from the Showa era and feature a Japanese-style pine design. ★Size: (Diameter) approx. 14cm, (Height) approx. 3cm The pine pattern (matsugara) is imbued with symbolic meanings such as "longevity," "vitality," "prosperity," and "marital harmony." It is said that these auspicious meanings come from the pine's evergreen nature and long life, and the fact that pine needles grow in pairs. These plates were carefully stored at my parents' home. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such items. For those who love retro items, please consider them. #ShowaRetro #Tableware #IndividualPlates #Plates #PinePattern #JapanesePattern #MinoWare #Auspicious
