Description
The Sakuda company was founded in 1919 as a gold leaf wholesaler, but began producing its own decorated crafts in 1970. Today it is one of Kanazawa’s most popular brands of gold leaf decorated goods. At their main store you can buy a variety of decorated ornaments, accessories, and ceramics and lacquerware. You can also enjoy a cup of tea with flecks of gold in it! In addition the store features a gold leaf mini-museum, and gives tours of the factory area so you can view the gold leaf manufacturing process. If you want to try decorating some simple objects with gold yourself, such as chopsticks, dishes, or jewelry boxes, you can do so in their hands-on workshops. Before you leave be sure to check out the store’s super gorgeous restrooms with walls covered in gold and platinum foil.
