HAKUICHI
With a history dating back to ancient civilizations, the use of gold leaf has been a revered and significant part of artistic expression and craftsmanship in Japan. Adding to variety types of gold leaf, Hakuichi's techniques and creativity produce endless possibilities of gold leaf designs. Gold leaf pasting is a technique that enjoys chance. The gold leaflet is sifted through the leaf and left to the fluctuation of the air to scatter it, creating a one-of-a-kind work in the world. Those works require skills and sensitivity, and Hakuichi has created a lot of original works so far. Since Hakuichi are the only company in Japan that has a consistent production line from gold to a gold leaf, they can make various types of metal leaves with controlled thickness. Hakuichi continues to innovate while preserving the tradition of gold leaf for the future.
