京からかみ体験工房 唐丸
Karamaru is the hands-on shop of Maruni, a Kyoto karakami maker founded in 1902: the ground floor holds the workshop and gift shop, and the karakami atelier is directly upstairs. In the printing workshop, visitors print three sheets of karakami with genuine woodblocks more than a century old — blocks still in daily use by the artisans. A take-home kit, Kira-let's (¥6,050 including tax), packs a woodblock, mica and gold mica powders, a brush and seven blank postcards. A set of karakami offcuts (¥880 including tax) is the simplest first buy.
