Kutani ware x Kanazawa foil (gold leaf) Kanazawa accounts for 98% of the nation's gold leaf production, and 100% of silver leaf (Kanazawa foil) is produced in Kanazawa. It is extremely difficult to achieve a uniform thickness of gold leaf down to a thickness of 1/10,000 of a millimeter without losing its luster, requiring skilled techniques. The secret to Kanazawa foil's high quality lies in the artisanal skill required to fold a 10-yen coin-sized piece and stretch it to cover the area of a single tatami mat, as well as the humid climate with lots of rain and snow and the excellent water quality. This piece beautifully combines the traditional craftsmanship of 360 years of Kutani ware and 400 years of Kanazawa foil, spanning the Kaga region's one million koku domain.
Kutani ware is one of Japan's three major colored porcelains and is highly regarded worldwide as a traditional craft representative of Japan, ``Japan Kutani.''
