History

Passing on skills inherited 1,000 years ago to the future

Yamamura Gold Leaf GIlding Studio, the company behind the brand "GOLDREAM KYOTO", was founded in Kyoto in 1949.

Since then, the company has been engaged in the business of "kinpaku-oshi" (gold leaf stamping) to apply gold leaf to "Kyo-butsudan" (Buddhist altars) and "Kyo-butsugu" (Buddhist ritual articles).

It is also involved in the restoration of famous shrines, temples and cultural assets throughout the country, including many famous locations.

We have inherited the "kinpaku oshi" gold leaf stamping technique handed down from the Kamakura period and have continued to refine it to this day.

The beauty of gold leaf majestically adorns ancient Japanese furnishings and cultural assets.

We have launched a new brand "GOLDREAM KYOTO" to introduce its charm to the people of today.

Characteristic

A gem of delicate craftsmanship

GOLDREAM KYOTO's items were created through a process of trial and error in the hope that more people would become familiar with the delicate craftsmanship and pleasant shine of gold leaf that we have cultivated over many years.

1/10,000 mm-thin gold leaf requires reading the climate and taking into consideration the condition of the underlying surface.

The technique of applying gold leaf to flat or three-dimensional surfaces, or to curved or bumpy surfaces, requires daily training and experience.

We continue to evolve by further refining the skills we have acquired through our studies.

We would like to share the technique of gold leaf stamping, nurtured by the culture and climate of Japan, with the people of today around the world.

The products of GOLDREAM KYOTO are made with traditional techniques that have been used for over 1000 years.

Our products are the pride of the craftsmen who preserve these techniques.
