This museum was built in Kita-Yasue by the late Yasue Kōmei(1898-1997), a gold leaf craftsman native to Kanazawa. He built the Yasue Gold Leaf Museum in order to preserve the legacy of the gold leaf craft for the coming generations, and displayed there pieces of art which he spent his entire life collecting and various tools used in the production of gold leaf. We hope you can take in the charm that gold leaf has, with its immeasurable depth and profound brilliance, as well as the passion of the Kanazawa craftspeople who have continued to produce gold leaf to this day.
