This art panel combines traditional Japanese techniques such as Kanazawa gold leaf, Kanazawa mizuhiki, and hyōsō (mounting methods used in hanging scrolls), reimagined to suit contemporary living spaces.
The vivid vermilion background beautifully enhances the brilliance of the gold leaf and highlights the graceful flow of white mizuhiki cords.
Accents of tightly knotted cords represent nanten berries (a symbol of good fortune), along with pine motifs, both commonly featured in elegant mizuhiki arrangements.

Easy to Display in Modern Spaces
Designed with today’s living spaces in mind, this decoration features a compact size and lightweight construction, making it easy for a single person—especially women—to display. The design carefully balances tradition and modernity, combining classic Kanazawa materials with a soft, contemporary aesthetic.
[Gold Leaf]
Using a combination of bold torn gold leaf and delicate sprinkled foil, the design conveys a sense of movement while retaining a gentle, elegant texture. To highlight the contrast between the soft texture of washi paper and the brilliance of gold leaf, the foil is applied using natural "dosa" sizing, a traditional material made from alum and animal glue.
[Mizuhiki]
Kaga Mizuhiki, a traditional craft from Ishikawa Prefecture, is featured with time-honored knotting techniques. This piece reinterprets the art with a modern, softer, and more feminine impression, perfect for contemporary interiors.
[Mounting (Hyōsō)]
The panel is constructed using the same techniques as traditional folding screens (byōbu). A wooden frame is crafted using traditional mounting methods, then finished by carefully applying washi to achieve a lightweight, durable, and elegantly structured panel.
