Kanazawa is known for producing more than 98% of Japan’s gold leaf, and the company manufactures arts and crafts, sundries, and interior goods using gold leaf.

Foilichi “Chirashi Bi: Starry Sky

From the fan surface to the fan bone and assembly, each fan is handmade by craftsmen. The gold leaf is made by using the noge, sunako, and kirikawashi techniques used for folding screens, and the chirashi technique is used to express a myriad of twinkling stars like a starry sky. The black base gives a not-too-much impression, making it a perfect match for a suit and tie.
