About METALWORKS
In Japan, gold, silver, copper, tin, and iron are called "Gokin (five metals)" and have been used as materials for metalworking since ancient times. Each metal has a different luster, workability, strength, thermal conductivity, heat retention, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and techniques to utilize these characteristics have developed in various regions.From daily necessities such as pots, kettles, and accessories to works of art that represent the times such as tea ceremony utensils, Japanese swords, and Buddhist bells, a wide variety of metalwork has been produced in each era.

United StatesLove the set of leaves
Love how the leaves contrast with the dark wooden table. Elevates the place setting and are surprisingly solid/hefty. I bought one of each of the three golden leaves

SingaporeTsubame Hutlery Gold Ginkgo Leaf Chopstick Res
It is designed very nicely, gentle slopes and makes the chopsticks rest feel more like an ornament rather than a piece of table setting
