What is the Kihaku Glass?
This beautiful craft is made by applying the "Kannyū" (crackled lacquer) technique of Ishikawa’s Yamanaka lacquerware, where gold and silver leaf are scattered. Due to the specialized technique of scattering the leaf by skilled artisans, each piece has a unique pattern, ensuring that no two are the same.

The "Kihaku Glass" that Embodies the Elegance of Japanese Culture
While modern in design, the creation of the Kihaku Glass shows a respect for traditional craftsmanship. The glass was born by applying the "Kannyū" leafing technique of Yamanaka lacquerware, which has been passed down through time. The beauty of Kanazawa gold leaf, with its mystical accidental qualities, is brought to its limits, and the pride of Japanese craftsmanship exudes deep charm and a sense of luxury.
