Yo koso. A Japanese fete.

Welcome. Yo koso. It's time for some Japanese cuisine. 

Inspector Regan has given his seal of approval. He also apologizes on my behalf for the picture heavy post. I did keep the words to a minimum!

Simple flower arrangements line the center of the table. I might have to learn Japanese flower arranging, but I think I go the simplicity down.

Tea cups inherited from my mother -in-law. they are beautifully made and match the dishes pretty closely.

I loved the wraps on the chopsticks, so made them removable!

 Salad plate, rice bowl, soup bowl.

Rectangular plate, dip bowl and chopstick rest.

Hand painted napkins from Tokyo.

Floating candles in small trays of water

Tea pot with crackle finish glaze and gold trim.

Bamboo placemats

Time to light the candles.. added a fan to the center floral arrangement.

love the way the candles reflect in the pools of water
