The lodging accommodation facilities called “Kin(Golden)-no-ma(Room)” and “Gin(Silver)-no-ma(Room)” are located in Hikoso-cho in Kanazawa. It is a modernly renovated accommodation, yet preserving the style of the Edo period. As the names of the rooms indicate, vermillion color goldfish are gracefully swimming across the gold leafing wall of “Kin-no-Ma”, and black goldfish are swimming powerfully across the silver leafing wall of “Gin-no-Ma.” The technology of Rekiseisha has been used. What they are using is a leaf sheet made by Nakagawa Chemical. It is characterized by laminating on an aluminum leaf sheet and printing golden color and goldfish on top. Through its method, it clears the outlines and emerges in three dimensions and they have succeeded in expressing a realistic appearance. The combination of a leaf paper and a picture has been used for a long time, but because of the technology of Nakagawa Chemical with a leaf paper of Rekiseisha, it actually delivers a delicate fineness of an art. It is an artwork in which tradition and innovation are combined.
