History

Creation of "Kanazawa Gold Leaf Crafts"

When our company was founded, a gold leaf was not used in Kanazawa and treated as a material for decorative art.

We have create a new category, "Kanazawa Gold Leaf Crafts", by using the gold leaf not only for decorative art, but also for our daily needs.

While we have been trying to spread the "Kanazawa Gold Lear Crafts" throughout the country, it has also been recognized in our home area, Kanazawa, and has now become a local industry.

Even though mechanization, mass production or use of new technology are preffered, we think a great deal of creating our products by hand.

We we believe that the real beauty in traditional crafts exists only in the products which are made by hand.

We keep on preserving the traditional techniques, while developing new technque and delivering the charm of Kanazawa Gold Leaf to the world.
