Kyoto’s Gojo-Zaka Kiyomizu-yaki Pottery Festival is now taking place.
It is an annual affair that has been held since 1920.
From morning till night for three days, a street market specializing in pottery opens.
Stall after stall sprout along the slope Gojo Dori from Kawabata up to Higashi-oji.
The area is famed for its Kiyomizu Yaki type of pottery. It was home to many artisans, their kilns, and pottery shops.
Japanese pottery can quickly get very pricey. At this festival, however, bargains abound.
