Editor’s note: This series showcases what we are calling “kawaii” (cute) items made locally in the iconic Japanese city.

Kyomiori Ltd. handles cosmetic products under the concept of "traditional Japanese motifs for everyday use."
Its new facial cleansers made with cereals feature "maiko" apprentice geisha, the "bush clover and the moon" theme and other designs rendered in gentle colors, making them popular souvenirs.
Mainly made with rice, wheat and other natural ingredients, the facial cleansers have won the hearts of customers who say the products make their face smooth after washing.
The cleansers can also be used as beauty masks to enjoy a Japanese-style facial at home.
Address: 510 Higashikawaracho, Kakimachi-dori Daikokucho nishi-iru, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto.
The Kyoto main shop is open from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
It is closed on Tuesdays except national holidays, in which case it is closed on the following day.
