The Experience
Experience the art of gold leaf application with our Gold Leaf Craft Workshop in Tokyo. Using authentic Kanazawa gold leaf, you will have the opportunity to create your own unique piece, such as a plate or a small container. Choose from a variety of designs and apply gold leaf to create a stunning contrast that will leave you in awe.
Gold leaf has been a significant material in Japanese religious and cultural crafts, used in items such as altars, folding screens, Nishijin textiles, lacquerware, ceramics, picture frames, and fans. This experience allows you to become a part of this rich tradition.
The process is simple and enjoyable: select your item, apply decorative stickers, coat with a special adhesive, and then apply the gold leaf. Once the stickers are removed, you'll be amazed by the beautiful contrast and intricate design of your creation.
