More Details
In this "Master Course," choose from a small plate, hand mirror, small box, or a round tray, apply the gold-leaf yourself, and you'll have a great souvenir to remember your trip to Kanazawa. * A more advanced "Wizard Course" is available for gold leaf and silver leaf items in whatever way you want, you can enjoy the metal-leafing to the fullest extent. * A Gold Leaf Transfer experience is also available. HAKUICHI started its history when our founder, a Kyoto lady named Kuniko Asano, married into the metal leaf manufacturer family in Kanazawa and built the craft-making business to popularize the beauty of Kanazawaās metal-leafed products. Now, the āKanazawa Gold-leafed Craftā is widely known as one of the most famous traditional crafts of Ishikawa. However, no gold leaf was known to be crafted in Kanazawa back in the founding time of 1975 although over 98% of gold leaf in Japan was produced in Kanazawa. In order to communicate the beauty of the Kanazawa Gold Leaf to more people, we started out with daily use products, not high-end items. The company was named HAKUICHI as our founder was the āfirst female metal leaf (haku) manufacturerā to create the āKanazawa Gold-leafed Craftā. Headquartered in the famous tourist destination of Kanazawa, HAKUICHI has 11 stores mainly in the same city. Our stores offer a wide range of the āKanazawa Gold-leafed Craftā from souvenirs and gifts for tourists to special items for the celebration of important stages of life for locals. And we offer more than crafts. Our cosmetics and sweets are also popular. At āMain Store HAKUKOKANā, we offer many programs including various levels of metal-leafing experience from beginners to advanced visitors and the gold-leaf transfer experience to feel how thin gold leaves are. We can accommodate one from person to a group of 70 so that a private visitor as well as group travelers can enjoy the experiential programs. Items available to gold leaf: small box, chopsticks, small plate, small hand mirror, round tray Prices vary from 1,800-2,500 We offer a wide array of metal-leafing experiences to make your own craftworks to meet different travel schedules and budgets. We also offer some seasonal metal-leafing programs, so please inquire for details.
