An artisan workshop where visitors can create and decorate works using only handmade gold leaf made from materials recognized as part of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
In this experience, you will create an original piece by applying gold leaf to a black square plate using gold leaf finished by handcrafted gold leaf artisans from Kanazawa.
Your completed work will be placed in a Gomei original case for you to take home the same day,
so you can display and enjoy it as it is without taking it out of the case.
On the day of the experience, after listening to the explanation,
you may choose either the "Free Design Course" or the "High-Spec Course."
After the experience, you will also receive an original artisan-made "Menkin Guinomi" sake cup as part of the set.
This is a Kyoto-exclusive experience where you can enjoy gold leaf culture through both creation and practical use.
