ABOUT KINKA
The beginning of the foil started with the idea that the founder wanted "to use the beauty of gold leaf everyday." Currently, while continuing traditional techniques, we are offering a new style of crafts. We're sticking to the Japanese style, stuck to the materials, Kanazawa craftsmen carefully make one by one.
ABOUT GOLD LEAF
More than 98% of Japan's gold leaf is produced in Kanazawa. Gold leaves are used for various craft items including temples, shrines and with high historical values such as Kinkakuji and Nikko Toshogu Shrine. Among the traditional crafts handed down in Kanazawa, gold leaf was developed because Noh and tea ceremony were performed actively in the cultural incentive measures of the clan that traditional crafts developed.
