Our craftsmen continue to manufacture gold leaf folding screens, adapting ancient techniques to meet modern needs. With meticulous care, they hammer out the gold leaf and finish each piece with precision, showcasing their artisanal skills. It's a feeling akin to stepping back in time to when ancient craftsmen created gold leaf for feudal lords and temples.
Moreover, Hakuichi's achievements extend beyond traditional crafts, with projects spanning various fields such as interior design for Lexus automobiles, wall decorations for the Tokyo Skytree, and entrance designs for high-end hotels. These accomplishments attest to the global recognition of Hakuichi's craftsmanship and beauty.

Nature Expressed Through Material and Light
Rather than illustrating trees directly, Shinra uses depth of color and metallic reflection to suggest the feeling of entering a forest. The contrast between a dark background and changing foil highlights creates a sense of distance and movement without relying on a literal landscape.
Contemporary Japanese Art for Architecture
The Large vertical format references the proportion of a Japanese hanging scroll while remaining minimal enough for modern architecture. Shinra can work in private residences, hotel corridors, restaurants, reception areas, offices and other spaces where a quieter, sophisticated Japanese accent is desired.
