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.
