The dream of Midas

Kanazawa, literally "golden swamp," has remained at the height of its poetic etymology. The delicate gold leaf (kinpaku) made ​here is used on architectural and sculptural wonders throughout Japan, the most famous being the aptly named Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. A visit to the Yasue Gold-Leaf Museum puts you at the heart of this 'gold' craft.
