Shimogamo craft fair

 Shimogamo craft fair

I came across another handmade craft fair, this time at Shimogamo Shrine. The setting was lovely but this one was smaller than the one at Kamigamo Shrine, possibly due to the threat of heavy rain, but there were some lovely stalls nonetheless…

Crafting is massive in Japan and selling handmade goods is on the up. Japanese alternatives to Etsy include tetote, iichi and tzkuri. Have a look at some of the loveliness tucked away there!
