Everything in this shop is made from silkworm cocoons. The shop sells mostly coccon dolls.
Location
There is little lane in front of the shop. Then there is the mini museum for coccons dolls. The Cocoon Museum is very pretty and has a very traditional Japanese feeling.
About cocoons
Cocoons are good for skin. Women in the Heian period washed their face with cocoons, because cocoons have ingredients which help rejuvenate the skin and make the user beautiful. How about washing your face with cocoons?
Cost
About a thousand yen. I recommend cocoons to wash face. 40 cocoons cost 500 yen.
