Japanese Plates

Many, many years ago I had to travel to Japan quite often. I bought this set of plates from Osaka. They travelled from Japan to Thailand and from Thailand to Holland and then back to Thailand again before moving to New Zealand. They are still intact and complete as a set of 5 (in Japan they have 5 pieces in a set for almost everything not 4 – as four is pronounced similar to death in Japanese-I have been told).
