Almost all the gold leaves (99%) of the total are produced in Kanazawa. On Dec 7th I took 5 guests from Singapore to Kanazawa to have an experience for pasting Gold leaves.
3 women chose compact mirror glasses and 2 men did chopsticks.
Compact mirror glasses
Women dcided the design and paint the outline on the paper from pencil. Next they cut the line from carving knife.
Then they peeled away the paper slowly to put it on the front side of mirror.
After 10 minues they put the gold leaf sheet on the side and sprinkled gold leaves.
Then they scaled the sheet slowly to finish.
please don't touch until one month later.
