On the 21st of every month, there is a huge flea market held at Toji temple. It is called "Kobo-san." There are not only antiques, but also hand-made crafts, food, sword, Kimono etc, basically anything you can think of!
Here are Kimonos! Please see this post if you like to know more about Kimono.

I guess you can see potteries the most...
Bamboo cutleries.
Japanese swords.
Oden!!
Dried sea-foods
Japanese traditional toys
Since it is held at Toji temple, you can do shopping with this beautiful scenery as a background. Isn't it gorgeous?
Those of you who love knitting, sewing, hand-crafts, there are Kimono cloth...
Netsuke?
More potteries.
You can buy Ukiyoe, old wood block prints, vintage postcards, photos, illustrations, drawing, paintings etc
Here are wooden Bento-box and wooden cutlery!
A Lacquer(ed) ware tea cup.
The bamboo cutleries, Japanese dolls, and Japanese kimonos bring back old memories of Japan. I miss Japan and thank you so much for this post.:)
ReplyDeleteHello Ayaka-san,
ReplyDeleteI think we met just after the Capsule Ryokan opened. I remember you were wearing a lovely kimono at reception, and you kindly brought me a bowl to microwave my breakfast in.
Cheers,
