Japanese Items

This is a few items that I have that display nicely together. I have picked them up from various places. The plates and the cups are both made in Japan. The little buddas are just reproductions, but I love them. The Hannya Mask salt and pepper shaker are from an antique store. From what I understand, the hannya masks represent the jealous female in the Japanese Noh Theater. This shelf makes me smile because I love the soft and hard design elements of these items.
