Kanazawa Gold Leaf Chirimen Craft Dolls – “Shirohina” Series

This exquisite doll series combines the luxurious brilliance of Kanazawa gold leaf with the soft texture of traditional chirimen (crepe) fabric in elegant shades of pure white. Gold – a color believed to bring prosperity and success. White – a sacred color symbolizing purity and protection against evil. The refined and simple palette blends beautifully with both traditional Japanese settings and modern Western interiors. Perfect as a seasonal decoration or as a thoughtful gift for a child’s first Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day). Each doll is lovingly handmade by skilled chirimen artisans in Kyoto. The set comes in a dedicated box for easy storage. With no facial features painted, these dolls appeal even to those who prefer minimalist or abstract designs. More affordable than many hina doll sets, making it a wonderful “second set” when celebrating the birth of a younger daughter. The main dolls (Prince and Princess) shine in dazzling golden attire, radiating elegance and charm. The folding screen is decorated by a master gold-leaf craftsman, who scatters Kanazawa gold leaf to resemble light descending from the heavens—crafted with heartfelt wishes that happiness will pour down upon your child and home.

Experience the elegance of HAKUICHI’s original Kanazawa gold leaf “Kodaihaku” series with this refined bamboo vase. With just a single flower, it transforms your space into something graceful and radiant. Crafted using the time-honored Beppu bamboo weaving technique, a nationally designated traditional craft of Japan, this vase showcases the natural beauty of bamboo. The surface is delicately shaved in a style called Hatsuri, creating a subtle texture that pairs beautifully with the shimmering Antique Gold Leaf. << Tradition meets modern design >> Each piece in the Kodaihaku series features a distinctive gradient, achieved through a special gold leaf-making technique developed in Kanazawa. Unlike ordinary gold leaf, Kodaihaku naturally reveals multiple colors within each sheet, eliminating the need for elaborate decoration. Its simple brilliance makes this vase a versatile accent that feels both timeless and modern. Please note: Each vase is handcrafted, so the shades may vary slightly—some may appear with bluish or reddish tones. Because natural bamboo is used, repeated exposure to water may cause cracking. If cracks appear, please avoid filling with water and instead use with dried flowers, or place a glass insert such as a cup or beaker inside. Learn More
