Sanbi Doh Karasuma Main Store

Auspicious pattern gamaguchi purses make the perfect souvenir

A Japanese clothing accessory shop since 1886. It boasts an expansive lineup ranging from traditional accessories like han-eri collars and obidome belt ornaments to products for daily living like tenugui handkerchiefs and furoshiki wrapping cloths. The popular Fukureori Gamaguchi series has a wide range of design variations, from auspicious Japanese motifs such as hemp leaves and arabesque to denim fabrics and liberty prints. Also available is a new series of water-repellent furoshiki. It's also perfect as an eco-bag or disaster prevention item, and can be used in a variety of situations. A cute furoshiki made in collaboration with Nordic born Moomin is also recommended as a souvenir.
