Glowing in Shades of Gold
Gold has long been regarded in Japan as a color of significance and celebration. Seen throughout history in sacred spaces and ceremonial objects, its glow became associated with nobility and auspicious moments.
In Japanese craftsmanship, techniques such as maki-e and kinsai apply genuine gold powder and gold leaf to surfaces, allowing light to shift with movement. Beyond these methods, golden tones themselves have been valued for the warmth and depth they bring. In this collection of tableware and crafts, accents and hues appear through gentle glazes, fine lines, and radiant details, bringing a refined, distinctive note to the table.
