Survey say that the occasion is very important in plate design.
Seasonal reference is also taken into consideration. My Japanese student
says that sometimes they are round and sometime they are square/
rectangular. We have seen some that are L shaped also. Leaves and Cherry
blossoms also are manifested in the designs.
The following texts might help:
The Japanese Pottery Handbook by Penny Simpson, Lucy Kitto, and Sodekoa
ISBN4-7700-0706-x P2300E (in Japan) from the LA county Museum book store
published by Kodansha International
and
Beginning of pottery by Hideki Kuhara (all Japanese text)
ISBN4-09-331001-7
published by Shogakukan Culture
As a contemporary aside, my student also says that stryofoam to go
containers are in voque now as mass consumer marking drives the fast food
sushi markets.
Best of Luck!
Chris and Daiken!

don't know if this is applicable to sushi plates, but for my own small square
plates i use the blocks of wood made to be fence post tops. they have nice
bevels, and a thin slab of clay laid over the top comes out a nice plate.
