Neighborhood: Gion
Gion is Kyoto's famed Geisha District (called "Geiko" in Kyoto). Though Gion's many tea houses and entertainment restaurants are closed to foreigners, Geiko and Maiko in their traditional makeup with gilded hair in full kimono can be seen drifting the streets on their way to and from work, where they fan dance, sing, and play instruments for customers. Gion lights up at night, when the ancient-looking streets glow with lanterns along the river, where weeping willows catch the starlight and the air is warmed with conversation. Groups pass through to populate the restaurants and bars along the riverfront, but Gion still manages to be a mostly quiet district, due in large part to limited automotive traffic through many of its streets. Gion is a wonderful place to indulge in Kyoto's local and customary cuisines, and is best enjoyed after dark.

Has unique local wallets and bags with prices to match. Unfortunately the goods are not wrapped in the beautiful kyoto style. Instead you get a cheap bag and paper
It is probably best to research the local crafts person and contact them directly. You will get a better price and cared for in a better way. Was a disappointing experience

This beautiful shop has examples of ceramics, fabric items and other souvenirs. The shop assistant spoke English and Mandarin as well as Japanese. The ceramics are exclusive to the shop, for some designs.
