Cherry Blossom Art Panel Authentic Kanazawa-haku
This striking 3-piece art panel sets the mood right in any room or office. Based on black lacquer, the painting depicts delicate cherry blossoms floating above the waves of a swelling sea. A conversation-starter in every sense of the word. Delightfully surprising versatility: each of the 3 individual panels can be converted into a tabletop. A truly unique touch. Hung together or separately, or put to use as a tabletop, each of the 3 pieces is a work of art on its own, simultaneously refined and practical.
The exceptional nature of this product stems from the gold that decorates it. Known as Kanazawa-haku, or “gold leaf from Kanazawa”, it is produced through a unique process that beats gold into remarkably thin, paper-like sheets. The splendid outcome sheets are magnificent creations, a mere 1/1000 of a millimeter thick.
Kanazawa, a region that sits on the Sea of Japan and bordered by the Japan Alps, produces 99% of Japan’s high-quality gold leaf. Its traditions span as far back as 800AD. The world-famous Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion Temple) in Kyoto is covered almost entirely in gold-leaf was produced in Kanazawa. The region is also famous for its lacquerware (Kanazawa shikki), making this piece a fantastic example of top quality work from Kanazawa.
