What do you want to get as a souvenir?
It is nice to get a souvenir which is unique and practical.
This time we want to introduce such a souvenir.
The shop is just down the road from Gion.
Cloth has been used for wrapping things in Japan since ancient time.
In the Muromachi period, people started calling it "Furoshiki" and it is still beloved by Japanese people to this day.
If you learn how to use a furoshiki, you can wrap many things in different forms.
Recently, it's getting popular among young people.
It's said that furoshiki only matches with Kimono but there are also modern furoshiki designs that you can use in daily life so you can choose your favourite from many colours and patterns.
There are many pretty accessories besides furoshiki.
You can see people using such cute accessories in town.
You will be pleased if you get such a souvenir that has both Japanese culture and cuteness.
