Gold Leaf Pasting Experience in Kanazawa

Kanazawa is the city of gold leaf, accounting for 99% of Japan's gold leaf production. In the gold leaf workshops within the city, you can experience creating original works by applying gold leaf to items such as chopsticks, small boxes, and plates. While handling gold leaf that is one ten-thousandth of a millimeter thick requires delicate work and concentration, the finished pieces make perfect travel souvenirs.
