100-yen-shop is cheap and good? Yes, DAISO
is all around the nation, but if you are
finding some wickedly good quality with your
each single yen paid well, please visit Fuchu
Prison in Tokyo. Well, you don't need to
commit some crime to visit here, actually
if you did, you will be making yourself into
the position of production line of these
craftwork and furniture. Instead, surf www.e-capic.com or visit Fuchu on Keio Line (easy access
from Shinjuku) to examine the quality of
the articles for yourself. Best souvenir
of your Japan trip can be found there.
Don't want to support those prisoners? Here's
genuine non crime (but yet very commercial,
meaning price higher) artisans shops.

| You may also find Art in Asakusa useful. Indeed, Taito-ku where Asakusa and
Ueno are located is one of the 23 districts
of downtown Tokyo which designers, artists,
architects are gathering. Cheaper than Roppongi,
Shibuya, Shinjuku is one reason, also good
combination with traditional culture still
remaining well in Ueno, Asakusa, Yanaka of
Taito-ku. |

| And this page has selected collections of traditional
souvenir in Asakusa. |
