Gold leaf is the traditional craft of Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, located in the Hokuriku region. It accounts for more than 98% of Japan's gold leaf production, and the craftsmanship is still inherited. If you look at the history of gold leaf in Kanazawa, it started in 1593. It is said that MAEDA Toshiie, the first feudal lord of the Kaga domain, ordered the production of gold leaf and silver leaf, and has continued to develop and inherit the technology until now.

"HAKUICHI", which handles such historical gold leaf, started manufacturing and selling crafts in 1975. Today, we plan and sell products in a wide range of genres, not only crafts and architectural decorations, but also cosmetics and sweets, and we are disseminating the infinite possibilities and charms of Kanazawa foil from Kanazawa to the world.
