Yasue gold leaf industrial arts house
安江金箔工芸館

  • Culture

Kanazawa is a town of producing gold leaf which produces the most of the Japanese gold leaf products.

Yasue (1898-1997), who is a gold leaf craftsman, wanted to leave

“the pride of the gold leaf craftsman and the proof” in history,

so he invested his own money in collecting artworks and tools of gold leaf

and then have been displaying all his collections.

It is a good place for visitors to know about the manufacturing process of the gold leaf well

and is worth visiting.
