What you can expect

Immerse yourself in the art of gold leafing at Gomei Gold Leaf Crafts, the only workshop in the world where you can create original gold leaf works using handmade gold leaf.

Begin by choosing between the “Free Design Course” or the “High Spec Course.” Then, under the guidance of skilled artisans, learn the techniques of applying gold leaf to a black square plate.

Use handmade gold leaf crafted by artisans in Kanazawa, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage material, to create your own unique piece. Once your masterpiece is complete, take it home in a GOMEI original case, ready to be displayed and admired.

After your experience, receive an original “Golden Guinomi” crafted by artisans, allowing you to savour the culture of gold leaf both in creation and in practical use.
