Traditional art crafts tour:Gold leaf

Guest from Germany.
It was his 2nd time to come to Japan.So his aim it to dig Japan deeply.
So I decided to take him to the Traditional art crafts tour:Gold leaf.
Since many workshops will let visitors observe and ask questions.
I can provide translations in these situations to help illuminate the process.
He said it was really impressive to see the craftsmanship.

In this class, students learned how to lay gold leaf in this age-old technique and made their own paperweights to take home.2016/10
