One of my aims in Kyoto was to find/buy some local ceramics. It didn't take us long to find some, in fact we found so many shops selling amazing bowls, cups, plates etc that it is quite lucky that our luggage isn't packed full of the stuff. We did find a couple of amazing pieces that are, thankfully, being shipped home for us.
Just off from the Gion district, up on a hill side we spotted a pottery shop that gives you the opportunity to throw your own pots (with a little help). They then fire, glaze and send your work home for you.
