Gold leaf is used as a material that adds artistic and spiritual value to objects in shrines and temples. Beautiful gold screens, nishijin-brocade, urushi wares, frames, fans, sliding door details, wall paper and gift wrappings are some of the delightful items the Japanese enjoy in their every day lives which have developed throughout the history. However the gold leaf today is used only for special occasions such as decoration for high-level food presentation and details for urushi wares. There are so many creative possibilities for expanding the use of Gold leaf whilst combining it with other material for modern day life.
