i took a few days trip last week to gifu prefecture. i saw this store in takayama, that sells woodblock prints, mostly that have been made into paper trays. the store is in a traditional shop house, which made it even nicer. they also made these lovely stuffed animals (for all the zodiac years-2008 is the year of the mouse) from block printed fabric.
last weekend's handmade market it kyoto was the busiest i've been to yet. so many shoppers! a batik demonstration from my trip to indonesia last month.
