“Tokusa” is a traditional Japanese ceramic design featuring thin, evenly spaced vertical or radial lines that resemble the leaves of Equisetum (commonly known as horsetail plants). This pattern is often hand-painted and can be found on various types of pottery, such as plates, bowls, and tea cups.

Handcrafted by Japanese Potter Masami Sunata, who lives in Yamanashi Prefecture.

His kiln name is Suõyõ (沙鷗窯),  the theme is it brings a sense of color every day of life, and it stays close beside you.

Due to the organic nature of making this type of porcelainware, each piece is slightly different from piece to piece.
