Ichikudo Nanbu Ironware Pure Gold Leaf Iron Figurine Paulownia Kanazawa Traditional Leaf Ornaments/objects [in Box]

Material: Cast iron (gold leaf finish) Place of origin: Japan (Iwate Prefecture) Size/Weight: W5.7 x D3.3 x H6.5 (cm) / Approx. 0.3kg Fengzuki leaf (Kanazawa traditional leaf), which has been made in Kanazawa for about 400 years and has a thickness of 1/10,000 to 2 mm, is a traditional craft made from pure gold that is processed to be the thinnest in the world. The skill of gold leaf stampers in Kyoto is to freely manipulate materials that are so difficult to handle that they wrinkle as soon as you pick them up with chopsticks, and to express a beautiful golden glow on dishes. Kanazawa's pure gold leaf and Iwate's Nambu ironware, each of which has continued to develop over hundreds of years, have been transformed into a single work using foil stamping techniques handed down in Kyoto, creating a traditional craft with new value.
