In Japan, it is traditional to dress a table with a minimalist and simple aesthetic. This often includes a plain white tablecloth or placemat, and simple, unadorned dishes and utensils. Flowers or other decorative elements are not typically used. When serving sushi or other traditional Japanese dishes, it is common to use traditional Japanese tableware such as lacquered or wooden dishes. Additionally, it is customary to use separate plates and bowls for each type of food, and to arrange the dishes in a visually pleasing way.
