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.

[Sake Cup Infused with the Beauty of Hokuriku]
A collaboration with Echizen ware, a traditional craft from Fukui Prefecture.
This exceptional piece features an ultra-thin lip—less than 1 millimeter thick—crafted entirely by hand using only the artisan's fingers, without trimming after wheel throwing, a feat once thought impossible in ceramics.
To preserve the natural texture of the materials, genuine gold leaf is applied using lacquer as an adhesive. No topcoat is used, allowing the refined brilliance of the gold leaf to shine through to its fullest.
