Credit to naguide.com for the solution and Calex dEUS for finding it.
BONUS: I also recommend going for the "No More Secrets" achievement at the same time as this. You're going to do a lot of running around rooms looking for stuff. Do this, without killing anything. Just keep your eyes on the floor at all times for the glyphs.
I won't go into which level of the various "worlds" I found them, but the levels are all short and can be run through in their entirety in about 10 minutes with a maxed character just covering ground … all souvenirs are found behind blue gates or given as part of a quest reward. The notes in parenthesis detail where the souvenir can be found in the Bergson's house once discovered.
The souvenirs are numbered by the order in which I found them but you'll notice #10 is misplaced … that's because I was going through the Caves again with a newly found character after I'd already been through Barahut (found a number of souvenirs) when I discovered the Mask.
Also, I found two Board Game souvenirs but this didn't count toward the 15 items and the second game didn't appear anywhere in the house (that I could see).
My last note is that you do in fact find two "A Bonsai From the Old Realm" souvenirs but they have different icons/appearances.
All that said, here's what I found, where I found it, and where it appears in the Bergson's house.

There are 15 specific items you will need to find for this achievement. As with all encounters in the game, it's complete RNG if you will come across them. The encounter rates for these are lower than anything else in the game, so this is likely to be your last achievement. Most of these will just be sitting behind a blue barrier to collect, though a few require you to complete a short encounter and a couple will also require you to leave the area and find an item behind a different blue barrier and return to complete the encounter.
You can use this guide to get an idea of what the souvenirs look like, and where to find them. While that guide says specific levels, since these encounters are RNG, they can happen in any of the levels inside a zone. For instance, I never found the Board Game in 1-1 after running it over a dozen times, and found it right away in 1-2. I have included the names of the items below in correspondence with the list in that guide.
Caeldippo Caves:
1 - Mask of the Eastern Goddess
2 - Wooden Bat
3 - Playing Ball
5 - Stone Tazza
7 -Ancient Light
8 - Board Game
10 - Floating Suns
Barahut:
9 - Stargazer Son's Painting
11 - Mask of Wise God
12 - Mask of the Southern God
13 - Wood Carving
Terralava:
4 - Aquakusa
6 - Light of Fertillity
14 - A Bonsai From the Old Realm
15 - A Bonsai From the Old Realm
As this will likely be your last achievement, you can simply run past every enemy and check behind the blue barriers to see if you get an encounter you're not familiar with and skip any others. If you still need money for upgrades or experience, kill everything in your path as well.
I note that items from static rooms (not quest rooms) can drop in any part of the specified location (for example, I farmed both masks and a board game in 3 parts of the flounder)
[No.] [Name] [Location] [Description]
[01] [Wooden Bat] [Caeldippo Caves] [You will encounter a man defending himself and his family from an ogre and three goblins. After the scene you will need to defeat the enemies. The ogre is always a fierce enemy, and in such a small room he will have a hard time. After you clear the room, chat with the family and get this souvenir].
[02] [Mask of the Eastern Goddess] [Caeldippo Caves] [You will meet her in a static room behind a glowing door. This is the rarest souvenir in the Caeldippo caves, so you will have to go through several dungeons].
[03] [Ball Game] [Caeldippo Caves] [You will encounter three goblins who are looting and killing a family's camp. Once the goblins have killed the last person, you will fight them. After the battle, you will be able to communicate with the corpses of the family].
[04] [Aquarium] [Terralava] [You will encounter a man, his child, and a TerraLava native attempting to create water. Next, you will be tasked with quickly activating two pumps. Go through the glowing door(s) and destroy the first nest of corrupt officials. Click on the switch to start the timer. Run past all the enemies along the route to the next glowing door. Enter it, quickly destroy the nest of corruption and press the switch. You will be returned to the original screen and will be rewarded with a souvenir].
[05][Stone Tazza][Caeldippo Caves][You will encounter a static room behind a glowing door. The souvenir is easy to find inside]
[06][Light of Fertility][Terralava][To obtain this souvenir, you will meet a man and his hospitalized daughter. He will direct you to an "energy source" that he hopes will save his daughter. Once you reach the source, you will have to fight a couple of enemies. After he takes the energy source, you will have to escort him back to his daughter through a couple of small enemies].
[07] [Ancient Light] [Caeldippo Caves] [You will encounter two men arguing with two animal corpses next to them. During the scene, corrupt creatures will appear from the animal corpses. Defeat the creatures, talk to the men, and they will drop the Ancient Light].
[08] [Paintings of the Astrologer's Son] [Rumble] [In the chain of events related to the Astrologer, your last event will give you access to this souvenir. Make sure you interact with the corpse you find].
[09] [Floating Suns] [Caeldippo Caves] [You will come across a small camp that has been ravaged by goblins. Kill the goblins and another scene will begin where you will be shown a boy hiding in a box. This is an escort event. You will need to clear the way for the boy as he slowly walks towards his mother. Don't move too far away from the boy, otherwise he will die instantly. As soon as you bring the boy to his mother, behind the glowing door, you will receive this souvenir as a reward. Don't worry if you don't succeed the first time, because this event can be found again]
[10] [Board Game] [Caeldippo Caves] [You will meet Uncle Ben who is trying to fix a wagon for a stranded family. He will instruct you to find a tree in another location on the same floor. Find the tree and return it to him to receive this souvenir].
[11] [Wood Carving] [Rumble] [You will encounter this in the static room behind the glowing door. Once you clear most of the other events (like diaries), he will become increasingly common]
[12] [Old Kingdom Bonsai #2] [Terralava] [You'll encounter this in the static room behind the glowing door. It won't be easy to find, but don't stop!]
[13] [Mask of the Southern God] [Rumble] [You will encounter this in the static room behind the glowing door. This is quite a rare occurrence, so you will have to go through several dungeons].
[14] [Mask of the Wise God] [Rumble] [You will encounter this in a static room behind a glowing door. This is quite a rare occurrence, so you will have to go through several dungeons].
[15] [Old Kingdom Bonsai #1] [Terralava] [You'll encounter this in the static room behind the glowing door. Once you clear most other events (such as diaries), he will appear more often]
