【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.
