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.
