I need to buy different ceramics for a new restaurant opening here in the uk.
Normally I buy from catalogues however this restaurant is a bit more special and I am making the journey to kyoto to buy different things. However I have never done this before and dont know prices and am a little worried how it will all work out for me.
Can you advisee me a little please:
Is this ceramic festival in august the best time for me to see many different ceramics?
Is it cheaper then usual?
Can I find more unusual items in Kyoto the in catalogues?
Can you recommend some shops to see when I come to kyoto in mid july please perhaps some might have websites.
I would appreciate any help.
Than you
A

Hi! I was at this festival last year and I am trying to track down one of the vendors. The pottery I bought was, I believe, made by mentally handicapped adults.
If you can help, I would love to know. I am returning to Kyoto
in three weeks and would like to order some ceramics for my store.
Thank you!
