Size: Diameter 7.5cm x Height 6cm [Gift Box Specifications: Comes in a special presentation box] Country of Origin: Japan (Ishikawa Prefecture), Material: Ceramics (Kutani ware) Kutani ware x Kanazawa Leaf (Gold Leaf) Kanazawa accounts for 98% of Japan's gold leaf production, and 100% of its silver leaf production. Achieving a uniform gold leaf thickness of even 1/10,000 of a millimeter without losing its luster is extremely difficult and requires skilled craftsmanship. The secret to Kanazawa Leaf's high quality lies in the artisanal skill required to fold a 10-yen coin-sized piece and stretch it to cover the area of ​​a tatami mat, as well as the humid climate with frequent rain and snow and excellent water quality. This piece beautifully combines the traditional craftsmanship of 360 years of Kutani ware and 400 years of Kanazawa Leaf, both of which are the domains of the Kaga region and the region's one million koku of rice. Kutani ware is one of Japan's three major colored porcelains and is highly regarded worldwide as a representative traditional craft of Japan, known as "Japan Kutani."
