    This china set (bowls,dinner plates, cups and saucers, small plates....maybe for bread and serving platter) came from Japan. My father bought it for his mother before I was born and I am 56. I took a piece to work and asked a Japanese co-worker what it said on the back. I can't remember, but it's the name of a town or city in Japan. I would like to know more about this china. The edges as well as trees, mountain tops, clouds, etc. are all painted in gold. I assume, real gold?? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

      This is a common depiction on Japanese plates with Mt Fuji in the background. Yours is more colorful than most and very pretty. The serving platter is probably more uncommon
