Traditional woodblock prints. They range in price from 500 yen (less than $5) to the thousands...they pack easily, and with a nice mat and frame make a nice memento. Here is a link to some examples:

If you are in Tokyo, go to Oriental Bazaar on Omotesando dori - they are upstairs.

A set of chopsticks would be a good start-you can buy a bunch for a very reasonable price. If you visit any temples, try the souvenir shops. That really worked for me, and believe me-I know what a budget is. There you will find a variety of inexpensive items that will not only show off the Japanese-style, but also the flair of wherever you visited. I also learned that if I found something I loved, I just bought it without hesitancy. Honestly, even with 'impulse buys', I only spent $150 in two weeks (and that included all my food that wasn't included in my tour, aka lunches).
If you don't absolutely love something, or are 'on the fence' about buying something, and you still have days left on your trip, I'd say hold off. Some things that I could have bought early on in my trip ended up being half off somewhere else way later in my trip. Show some restraint with your money, and some tact in your choices and you'll come out a winner with great items that didn't break your bank. Have fun in Japan!

Airfare from the U. S. is often around USD$1200-$1500 looking on port of departure and the time of 365 days. a widespread hotel will set you lower back approximately USD$a hundred a night for a single room or USD$a hundred and fifty for a double. attempt a agency hotel for a sturdy compromise with fees around USD$70 for a single room and USD$a hundred for a double. i prefer to propose the Toyoko hotel hotel chain placed throughout Japan. fees at widespread jap eating places are often USD$8-$15 a meal, yet food can fee you approximately USD$5-8 a meal in case you consume at funds jap eating places like Yoshinoya, Sukiya, and CoCo Ichiban Curry residing house. i could say approximately USD$80-a hundred an afternoon is a possibility carried out on a funds.

My mother in law bought me a miniature japanese sleeper when she went to Japan. It's very cute. Not too expensive either.

I have a handmade teaset. Don't buy the knockoffs in the open air markets. I bought it direct from the artist in his studio. It cost around $150. Not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand using mild detergent.
