Gasendo Kawaramachi Gojo Honten

Well stocked shop for art supplies. Sketch books, water colour, oils and gouache and acrylic paints. Coloured pencils, crayon and pastels. Pigment powders, nibs, ink, markers and charcoal. Helpful staff

If you need art supplies, you need this store. Among other art supply types, an unprescidented range and quality of paints are available, here. I found paints in colors I didn't know could exist! Prices are fair, quality and range is superb, and the store is beautifully laid out.

Provide all sorts of art supplies especially for painting.

The staff helped me find art supplies for a friend. And, they connected me with other stores that had the rest of the art stuff a friend needed. Framing is available as well as designing your own canvas shapes and sizes.

Good japanese shop for fine arts supplies (lackering, ukiyo-e, inks... and lot of more)

My favorite brand of art stores in Kyoto! Amazing selection and simple layout.

If you’re an artist or an art major student, this is the best place to buy art supplies in Kyoto!! You can easily find japanese brands like Holbein, Turner, Sakura, Copic, & etc. Very pleasant place with huge range of art supplies! From 2D art supplies to 3D (for sculpting/mold), they have it all.

You can also find frames (in the back section of the store) and various type of papers (especially on the 2nd floor).

If you’re a student and have student ID card, you can show your student ID card in cashier and get extra discounts!! (last time I got extra 10% discounts).

I already came back here more than four times~! Definitely must go~

A small, by US standards, but well stocked art supply and framing store. Very courteous service.

Best art store I've been to recently with amazing prices and a large selection of supplies.

Excellent prices and great supplies. My cousin loves art and found many great supplies. Bring your passport to purchase duty free.

Only place left in Kyoto stocking traditional horse-hair brushes and burnishing tools for ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Best art supply store in town.

Many thanks to these kind women for helping me find beautiful acrylic brushes for my husband. I was visiting from California and wanted to bring home a special gift for Jim apRoberts. Thank you to Junko Mitsui for helping me to find your wonderful shop.
If you are in Kyoto, Gwasendo is a lovely shop with special art supplies.
