【Red Fuji – Painted with the Traditional “Moriage” Gold Leaf Technique】

This artwork is created using an adapted form of the Moriage technique, which traces its origins back to the Momoyama period (late 16th century). Multiple varieties of Kanazawa gold leaf are layered and painted to achieve a surface rich in depth and texture. The colors shift subtly depending on the angle and the way light strikes the surface—an effect possible only with genuine Kanazawa gold leaf. At the center of the composition shines the majestic form of Red Fuji, glowing with divine brilliance. In Japan, Red Fuji is said to be so rare that “to see it even once in a lifetime is a blessing.” For centuries, it has been cherished as an auspicious symbol of success, prosperity, and good fortune. By combining this mystical motif with the radiant glow of gold leaf, the work conveys both elegance and powerful presence. This piece makes a distinguished gift for milestone celebrations such as longevity anniversaries, or as a prestigious presentation between organizations and companies.

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

A Spark of Tradition, with a Playful Charm
This accessory box is part of a striking series that blends the rich, lustrous beauty of Kanazawa gold leaf—boasting over 450 years of tradition—with the bold compositions and vibrant colors of ukiyo-e. Each piece captures a mysterious, dreamlike quality, as the artwork shifts in appearance with the angle of light—truly a “living art piece.” This design draws inspiration from "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō as Told by Cats (Neko no Edo Gojūsanbiki)", a beloved work by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, one of the most popular ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period. The piece is a delightful ode to cats—crafted for feline lovers worldwide. Each cat is playfully depicted acting out puns or visual jokes based on the names of various locations in Japan: from lounging and napping to stealing bites of food. In one charming example, a cat from Fuchu (a city in Tokyo) is shown completely “muu-chuu” (infatuated) with a fish—an amusing wordplay on the Japanese pronunciation of “fuchu” and “muchuu” (being absorbed). Individually handcrafted with care, this item is well-loved as a gift for cat enthusiasts and art fans alike, and also makes a wonderful souvenir from Japan. Beyond its practical use for storing accessories or small keepsakes, it’s a decorative piece that brings joy and whimsy to everyday life. Learn More
