Non-matching sets?

A common question we get is: How come things don’t match in a set?

For example: the designs are all different? Or the colors are different?

The reason is that at a Japanese table-setting, they are meant to “not match”.  It makes the table more interesting to view as an overall, rather than have everything look exactly the same.  But even if there are different designs, or different colors, there is something that ties them together so that they don’t look awkward next to each other, such as color tone, or design, or texture.

But if you like the matching style, we do recommend our series page-here you can find styles in the same design!
