Handmade Japanese Cup with gold leaf

The activity of the Gomei Company began in the Meiji era (1868-1912), with the opening of a shop selling Buddhist items. The use of the gold leaf technique instead begins with Mr. Yasushi, of the second generation. In this way their techniques are refined in the use of gold leaf for the decoration of a wide range of products, ranging from statues to Buddhist accessories. They have international collaborations of the highest level, including Tiffany. They made many of the statues found in the Temples and Kyoto City Hall, as well as decorations for Osaka Castle and the Gion Festival.
