Artist markets are the place to be if you’re looking for unique, handmade items not often found at high street retailers. Running annually since 2009, the Art and Handmade Bazaar is one of the largest indoor markets dedicated to handicrafts in the Kansai region. This year’s bazaar will be held at Osaka ATC Hall on the weekend of September 20 and 21 and is set to feature some 850 creators from all over the country. Get ready to discover artisanal accessories, bags, leather and wooden products, glassware, ceramics, a variety of prints and illustrations, and much more.
Admission is ¥1,000 at the door, but advance tickets are available online for ¥800 until one day before the event.
