Running out of inspiration? Kyoto Design House happens to be the perfect place to shop for some of the city's iconic trinkets, when the lack of gift ideas comes.
In a brand new building signed by the famous architect Tadao Ando, Kyoto Design House offers its products combining tradition and design .
Made by contemporary Japanese designers, they reveal that Japanese graphics have carried a certain form of modernity for several centuries. From kyoyaki ceramics to washi stationery and shikebiki silk fabrics, traditional materials are re-visited in modern forms. Kitchen accessories, books (also available in French), are also available and the choice is wide.
The prices too, from the simple collection of haikus at 1000 yen to the bamboo vase for Ikebana at 105,000 yen, you will find there for all budgets. To make no mistake most of the staff speak English.
One of the most popular products with foreign tourists is therefore a friendly introductory book to origami . For rainy days or to alleviate boredom, nothing beats such an opportunity to please by bringing back memories.
