SHOP

This is the toy shop. There are many traditional toys such as spinning tops, kites, wooden paddles, and souvenirs. Many foreigners like to buy chiyogami, a decorative Japanese paper, and accessories made from them.

"Kurashiki Hariko" is papier mache which all parts of works are handmade by craftsmen. Espeically, one of their famous figures is a tiger. The tradition in the Kurashiki area is to present a Hariko tiger to a newborn baby boy, so it's not surprising that tigers are the most common design, found in various sizes.
