Hi all,
Just back from a second visit to Kyoto. When I was there last year, there was a really nice lacquerware shop - lovely but pretty pricey - on Shijo Dori (?)near the Louis Vuitton shop. It seems to have closed down and been replaced by a cafe, any idea if it's gonew somewhere else? If not, any recommendations for nice lacquerware shops in Kyoto gratefully received. Looking for reasonably high end kaiseki kagu.

Hello, I am sorry for not replying sooner.

I think the lacquerware store you are talking about is Shikki no Asobe store.(漆器のアソベ). The store used to be facing Shijo street, but they have MOVED to Shijo Higashinotoin-sagaru, which is south from Shijo-street X Higashinotoin-street crossing.

They are still doing business, of course; it is a really popular shinise store, that has started in 1807.

Oh, and I also like うるしの常三郎 (Urushi no Tsunezaburou) store.

They have several stores in Kyoto. The most convenient one is on Ponto-cho street, on west side of the street, closer to Shijo-street end. They have reasonably priced lacquerware.
