Nagasaki Station is waiting for the opening of West Kyushu Shinkansen in the fall of 2022.  Hilton Nagasaki was built in the fall of 2021 in front of the west gate.  It has an exquisite blend of Nagasaki culture and modern style and has become a new landmark around there.  The entrance, which can be said to be the face of the hotel, is decorated with metallic leaf wallpaper of Rekiseisha.  The metallic leaf wallpaper is called “Legend”, which is highly artistic in the lineup.  This design recreates a technique called “gin-yaki” (a technique for sulfured silver leaf to discolor) that can only be made by skilled craftsmen.  Making the same “gin-yaki” pattern repeatedly is really difficult and has a different look each time, so the pattern was scanned, digitized, and printed on gold and silver paper.  No company except us can make it.  “Gin-yaki”, which requires advanced technique, cannot cover a large area, but printing makes it possible.  Hilton Nagasaki uses this “Legend” for about 150m.  “The entrance is not so large, but this wallpaper gives a large impression,” said a hotel staff.  Please come and see the richness of the space brought about by the new gold and silver paper that fuses tradition and digital.
