THE HOTEL SANRAKU KANAZAWA is one of the best hotels designed with the theme of Kanazawa’s traditional culture which has been inherited continuously since 15^th century. Our metallic leaf wallpaper was used in the space where the splendor and the unique atmosphere are luxuriously expressed. Pewter leaf was selected and it had a calm shine similar to champagne gold. We used inkjet printing to create an elegant pattern with the motifs of wisteria, plum blossoms, and mizuhiki (decorative Japanese cord). The key point was that lamination was applied on top. The owner wanted to prevent the guests from touching the wallpaper or getting it wet or dirty. They are from not only Japan but also abroad, and more, they have different cultures. He would love everyone to enjoy the hotel without worries and wants to welcome all guests. We needed to produce the products quickly with good quality to deliver them for all 215 guest rooms. We verified that there was no defect such as discoloration of the metallic leaf paper. This work was really challenging for Rekiseisha and we have got over some difficulties. We have realized that we could find new possibilities for metallic leaf wallpaper.
