Tea Ceremony

A tea ceremony is performed in the golden tea room at Takaoka Seihaku Company, makers of gold foil.

The room is a reproduction of the tea room that the war lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi built in the Osaka Castle in 1590.

The modern room cost $1 million and the utensils $300,000.

Kanazawa makes 98% of the gold foil in Japan because of good water, good paper and suitable humidity.
