Traditional Crafts

The Crown Jewelof the Kaga Domain

Kanazawaʼs Traditional Crafts and their History(of which Kanazawa was a part), encouraged samurai
warriors and the general public to take up cultural activities such as Noh theatre and tea ceremony. As a result,the production of traditional craft items used for these activities, such as clothing, tools, and accessories, ﬂourished
due to subsidies by the Maeda clan.
Even in todayʼs changing times, the artistic cultures ofNoh, tea ceremony, and other traditional aesthetics continue to be passed down, and traditional craft items havebecome an even closer presence in peoplesʼdaily lives.
Kanazawaʼs superb traditional craft items radiate a timeless dignified beauty, and are a gorgeous decoration toaccent and enrich oneʼs life-style.

In Japan, long-established culture and customs have been
passed down from generation to generation, and tangible
items from those traditions have been treasured in orderto pass them on to future generations.
Even within Japan, in particular, Kanazawa establisheda foundation for tradition to be passed down. Because ofthis, Kanazawa became a place in which great artistic
skills converged, and where one could see a multitudeof traditional crafts. A potential reason for this is that in
1583, the Maeda family, who governed the Kaga Domain

Kaga Yuzen and its History
Kimonos̶a traditional Japanese ethnic costume. In
Kanazawa, a city rich with cultural activities such astea ceremony, Noh theater, and traditional dance, kimonos are not only worn during weddings, festivals, andevents, but one can also see them being worn by people
throughout their daily lives. There are different typesof kimonos for diﬀerent places and occasions, and Kaga
Yuzen kimonos in particular are worn when attending awedding, party, or other high-class events. Kaga Yuzen
has an extensive history, and it is thought that its origins
date back approximately 550 years to a dyeing techniquecalled ume-zome.
Subsequently, Kaga Yuzen further developed throughthe eﬀorts of a painter named Yuzensai Miyazaki. Yuzensai studied the painting style of Rimpa School painter Korin Ogata and was summoned to Kanazawa by the Kaga
Domain, where he invented various dyeing patterns.
Yuzensai was not an artist however; instead, his eﬀorts
as a designer led to the development of the Kaga Yuzens elegant designs.
A characteristic of Kaga Yuzen that distinguishes its patterns from that of Kyoto Yuzen is that the former s has
a more realistic image tone. A main motif of Kaga Yuzen
is each of the four seasons beauties of nature, and thedesigns are skillfully and vibrantly drawn using a variety
of techniques including gradation. For example, a design
called mushi kui, depicts leafs that have been partiallyeaten by bugs in a highly realistic fashion. Compared to
Kyoto Yuzen, Kaga Yuzen also boasts a rich color scheme
consisting of indigo, dark red, Chinese yellow, grass green,
and antique purple. These ﬁve colors are called the Kaga
Gosai, and are the foundation for Kaga Yuzen.
In recent years, Kaga Yuzen fabric has gone from only
being used in kimonos, to being used in a variety of items
such as decorative fans and tapestries. It is particularly
popular with young women.

Kanazawa Kutani Ceramic
Ware and its History
Approximately 350 years ago, a type of ceramic warecalled Old Kutani was produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa prefecture, however, after 50 years its production wasceased. In order to try to revitalize its production, the Kaga
Domain summoned Kyoto pottery master Mokubei Aoki toopen a kiln in Kanazawa in 1806. This event marks the beginning of Kanazawa Kutani Ceramic ware.
Mokubei Aoki formed the new works by blending the clay
used in the Old Kutani ceramic ware with clay made from
Kanazawa s soil. Exquisite new designs were created that
included Chinese-style drawings of birds and ﬂowers using
a palate of green, yellow, red, purple, and indigo, and works
that were completely embroidered in gold. From that time
onward, Kanazawa s Kutani Ceramic Ware culture flourished thanks to backing from the Kaga Domain.

ware technique called ao-chibu.

After Japan ended its policy of isolation in 1853, Kanazawa
Kutani Ceramic Ware was actively sent to domestic andinternational exhibitions. Kutani ceramic ware enjoyed highpopularity abroad due to its glitziness and beautiful decadentdesigns, and it became exported under the name of Japan
Kutani.
In addition to the many artistic styles and traditions created by Mokubei, such as aka-e kinsai, kin-ran-te, andhana-zume, that continue to be used up until the present,
a number of artists today have created a variety of novel
Kanazawa Kutani Ceramic Ware designs. In recent years, inconjunction with the westernization of the Japanese lifestyle,Kanazawa Kutani Ceramic Ware has shifted from designs
that fit Japanese tatami mat rooms to plates and utensils
that go well with western-style dining rooms. Modern items,
such as Kutani ceramic ware wine glasses, take the user into
consideration in their form, color, pattern, and usage, andgive Kanazawa Kutani Ceramic Ware a new breath of life.

Kanazawa Leaf and its History
It is believed that the production of gold leaf began in
Kanazawa around 400 years ago. In 1696, the production ofgold leaf was banned outside of Edo (present-day Tokyo)
and Kyoto, but it is thought that the Kaga Domain secretly
continued gold leaf production during this time. When theban on gold leaf production was lifted in 1864, the Kaga
Domain was able to openly produce gold leaf, at which
point they were able to greatly develop its quality and expand the amount produced. After the Samurai era ended,
Kanazawaʼs high-quality gold leaf took the place of Edoʼsgold leaf, the only gold leaf known to the world until thattime, at a great number of markets, and it currently holds
99% of Japanʼs domestic gold leaf market.
In addition to the high skills of the gold leaf craftsmen,
it is thought that Kanazawaʼs climate, which is ﬁtting forgold leaf production with its frequent rain and snow, is13

one factor why Kanazawaʼs gold leaf ʼs quality is superb.
It is also a key point that gold leaf is stretched to
1/10000mm thin. The gold leaf is sandwiched between
sheets of washi (Japanese paper) and tied into a bundle,
where it is pounded and stretched by a mechanical hammer in a process called haku-uchi. Washi is anotherspecialty product of Kanazawa, and is a traditional craft
which has passed down for generations. The washi issoaked in a mixture consisting of ash lye, persimmon juice
and eggs, and then struck and dried out. This process isrepeated to create a thin membrane, which gives the goldleaf sandwiched in between it a soft luster and smoothness.
Gold leaf has been used since old times in buildingssuch as temples and shrines, Buddhist statues, and Buddhist altar articles, among other things. In recent years its
versatility has increased, with it being used not only as abuilding material, but also in interiors and for accessories.

2 Hiki-ire▼

Before the step hiki-ire begins, four steps are
performed: kami-shikomi (the preparation of thepapers), zumi-uchi (the pounding of the nobe-kin),
shi-tate (presentation), kami-shikomi (the selection of
the papers). In these steps, the alloy from the nobekin is sandwiched between sheets of washi and isrepeatedly struck by a hammer. The hiki-ire step
involves taking the newly 3/1000mm thin gold foil
and putting it in between uchi-kami (pounding paper)so it can be made 2/10000 to 1/10000mm thin.

3 Uchi-mae▼

After hiki-ire, there is a step called uchimae, in which the foil is struck by amechanical hammer as many as 700
times per minute. The hammered koma
gold foil, is moved onto paper for the
final phase, in a step called watashishigoto, after which it is hammered
again.

Kanazawa Lacquer Wareand its History
The history of Kanazawa Lacquer Ware begins around
1630, when the third generation daimyo of the Kaga Domain, Toshitsune Maeda, focused his efforts into the promotion of artistic handicrafts. Doho Igarashi, a royal makie artist for the Ashikaga Shogunate and representativeof Kyoto s Higashiyama/Momoyama culture, was invitedby the Kaga Domain to lead the movement. He was followed by Ichidayu Shiihara, an exalted inro maki-e artist
from Edo (present-day Tokyo). A foundation for Kanazawa
Lacquer Ware was created by combining the reﬁned aristocratic culture of Kyoto with the strong warrior culture ofEdo.
A large majority of Kanazawa Lacquer Ware is interior
furniture, tea paraphernalia, and other original works. The
17

process of making the lacquer ware is largely broken up
into four steps: kiji, shitaji/nuno-kise, nuri/togi, andkashoku (maki-e). Ingenuity is used every step of theway in order to ensure the lacquer wareʼs robustness.
The last step of the segmentalized process, kashoku, issaid to be most representative of the characteristics ofKanazawa Lacquer Ware. Lacquer ware is produced allover Japan, however, products that match the high qualityof the reﬁned and exquisite adornment of Kanazawa Lacquer Ware are few and far between. The adornment technique, called Kaga Maki-e, involves painting with lacquer
ware and sprinkling gold or silver dust on top of it, and isconsidered a high artistic value.
Kanazawa Lacquer Ware, a work of art that is meticulously crafted while being the pinnacle of the uniquely Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, exudes luxuriousness. Everytime it is used, its distinct luster grows, and is magical inthat it becomes accustomed to its user over time.

1 KijiThe kiji process involves cutting
the raw timber to its target size, andforming its shape using a variety oftechniques. The person who oversees
this process is called a Kiji-shi.

2 Shitaji・Nuno-kise
The shitaji process is conducted in order
to increase the strength of lacquer
ware as well as the beauty of its coat.
The kijiʼs joints and any blemishes are
ﬁlled up using raw lacquer. In the nunokise process, washi (Japanese paper)or cloth is aﬃxed to the shitaji in orderto fortify areas that might damage easily
during use.

3 Nuri/Togi
The nuri/togi process involves equally
alternating between lacquering thelacquer ware ( nuri ) and burnishing it( togi ). This process is repeated manytimes.

Kanazawa Buddhist Altars

Kanazawa Buddhist Altars and their History
Around 1471, a Buddhist monk by the name of Rennyo
Shonin came to Ishikawa Prefecture and began to proselytize. His teachings spread, and as a result, places ofworship were built throughout the prefecture. Buddhist
altars also became a necessary part of the temples, andas proselytizing continued afterward, people began toplace altars in their homes.
Entering the feudal period of the Kaga Domain (15831868), the third generation daimyo of the Kaga Domain,
Toshitsune Maeda, brought in artisans from Kyoto andEdo (present-day Tokyo), and built a foundation for thearts. This was followed by the fifth generation daimyo
Tsunanori Maedaʼs creation of the Kaga Osaikusho, aworkshop for the creation of art objects. Consequently,
many craftsmen settled in Kanazawa, including the sevenspecialized experts needed to create Buddhist altars. The
creation of the Buddhist altars was conducted according
to a system of complete division of labor.
Two large characteristics of Kanazawa Buddhist altars
are their exquisite designs, which take advantage of thetechniques of Kaga Maki-e, and their durable lacquer
coats which do not tarnish. The Buddhist altarʼs ubiquitous gold leaf decorations also set its character as an object of art. Furthermore, the main body of the altar, madewith durable woods such as ginkgo biloba and Aomori
hiba (a type of cypress), is made using a building technique called hozo-kumi, which does not use a single
nail in the process and prioritizes a robust end result.
On the other hand, in recent years, changes in lifestyles
have led to people living in high-rises and houses without
Japanese-style rooms. Due to these shifts, miniaturized
and simpliﬁed Buddhist altars have begun to make an appearance. Kanazawaʼs Buddhist altars continue to follow
the techniques passed down for generations in order tokeep them alive.

The Seven Processes ofKanazawa Buddhist Altars
Kanazawa Buddhist Altars are built using seven separate processes, with the altarʼs complete assembly carried out last.

1 Kiji2 Kuuden

Kiji refers to the creation of the main body of the altar, using
woods such as gingko biloba and Kusamaki evergreen. It is
an important fundamental step in creating the altar.
Kuuden refers to the creation of the inner part of the altar
which lies under its top. Well dried wood is used, and over1000 detailed parts are chiseled using tools such as a chisel
and penknife. Among those parts, 300-400 small parts
are stylized using a technique called masu-kumi, a fineelaborate process.

3 Kiji-bori 4 Haku-bori
The kiji-bori process involves using hard woods such as,Japanese yew, tabunoki laurel, and Japanese boxwood,
while haku-bori process involves using soft woods suchas benimatsu pine and Japanese whitebark magnolia.
In both processes, the wood is cut to a prescribed size,
depending on its intended purpose, after which a design
is drawn upon it. After a rough cut, various types ofengraving knifes are used in diﬀerent ways to complete
the more detailed parts of the carving.

5 Nuri「New design Buddhist
altar No.2」
Kanazawa Buddhist Altar Manufacturers Association
This modern-type, reﬁned Buddhist altar features a beautiful contrast between vermillion
and black lacquering. The design is simple, but the manufacturing process used tocreate the altar is elaborate; it requires the traditional skills of Kanazawa Buddhist Altar
seven specialized experts. Pipe hinges welded with silver solder are used to improve thedurability of the doors.

Sabi-shitaji, a primer which consists of lacquer mixed
with soil, is applied to the finished product of the kiji,
kuuden, and haku-bori steps. The sabi-shitaji is applied
several times, which increases the woodʼs strength.
Surface roughness is corrected by sanding, after which
a ﬁnal coat of lacquer is applied. The lacquer is put in a
steam bath where it is dried out by humidity, and after
it has dried out, the lacquer is applied in a way that will
result in a ﬁnal coat of even thickness.

6 Maki-e
After the ﬁnal coat of lacquer has been applied, gorgeous
designs are added to the altar using maki-e. This stepof production is unique to Kanazawa Buddhist Altars.
Pictures and patterns are drawn using lacquer, whichfunctions as an adhesive, upon which the powder ofprecious metals, such as gold and silver, are sprinkled.

By polishing the altar and applying many coats of lacquer to it after applying anintermediate and ﬁnal coat, the wood is strengthened. The altars are truly likeworks of art, with their vivid maki-e, and gorgeous gold, silver, and tin ﬁnish atestament of the profoundness of their tradition.

7 Kanagu
The kanagu process involves the creation of the metal
fittings which adorn the altar and give it a gorgeous
appearance. Paper patterns are placed on top of copper,
brass, or other metal plates, upon which contour lines
are drawn. The materials are struck with an edge-tool or
cutting graver (cold chisel), and a pattern is inserted into
them using a pattern graver. Lastly, after the metal has
been polished, it is gilded to complete the process.

Kaga Embroidery加賀繡Kaga Embroidery and its History
Kaga Embroidery silk cloth, gorgeous delicate patterns,
and sleek beauty all characterize it. Its history begins
when Buddhism was brought to Kanazawa from Kyoto asa decoration for Buddhist altars.
Subsequently, many types of clothing, including battle
surcoats and kimonos worn by lords wives and daughters, came to be embroidered. Kaga Embroidery wasdeveloped under the patronage of the Kaga domain. Theboom in popularity of having an embroidered han-eri (aneckpiece for a kimono collar), caused a sudden jump indemand for Kaga Embroidery one hundred years ago.
Moreover, in the postwar era, Kaga Embroidery wasproduced for overseas consumers in the form of handkerchief decorations.
A unique characteristic of Kaga Embroidery is that it
uses threads that are composed of a multi-hued coloration, such as gold and silver, among others. Additionally,
techniques such as sashi-nui and niku-ire-nui, whichgive the embroidery a three-dimensional eﬀect as well as
gradation, can also be found in Kaga Embroidery. Theseskills are obtained through painstaking practice andyears of experience. All steps of the process are done byhand. Recently, embroidered dresses, stoles, accessories,
interior goods, etc. are produced to bring the appeal of
Kaga Embroidery closer to common people.

1 Soko・Ura-zuri
The soko step involves drawing a sketchof the embroidery design on washi (Japanese paper) using a pencil and sumi ink.
In the ura-zuri step, a solution of crushed
shells mixed with water is coated to theback of the washi. It is then placed on topof the cloth fabric, where the design istraced onto the cloth using a stencil pen.

▼

2 Hai-shoku・Ito-yori▼

The hai-shoku step involves selecting thecolors for the threads that will stand out on
the fabric. The threads are placed on topof the fabric to assess their compatibility.
In the case that the desired thread color
is not available, there are times when
the thread is dyed to those colors by thecraftsman.
In the ito-yori step, threads are intertwined
using the palms of both hands. The
process increases both the stringʼs luster
and its strength.

3 Daihari・Nui-kako
The fabric is set in an embroidery frame,
and the needlework is stitched into thefabric along the sketched design using
15 traditional techniques. The string is
stitched into the cloth front to back, while
the artisan checks the work each step of
the way, and a raised three-dimensional
pattern is created.

Ohi Ware and its History
The start of Ohi Ware begins around 350 years ago, when thefifth generation daimyo of the Kaga Domain, Tsunanori Maeda,
summoned Tea Master Senso（Sen-Soshitsu）ancestor of the
Urasenke School, who moved to Kanazawa from Kyoto with Ohi
Chozaemon, a skilled Raku Ware（apprenticed of the 4th RakuIchinyu）. Since then, 11 generations of craftsmen have createdtea ware with a unique style that differs from Raku Ware for theJapanese way of tea, including tea bowls, water container, vessels forconfectionaries, and other objects used for tea ceremonies.
A distinctive feature of Ohi Ware is its inimitable shiny caramel
brown color and its feel. Nearly all works are hand built without
using a ceramic wheel, and it has a warm feeling for the hand and lip
with Zen thought.
In 2011, the 10th Ohi Chozaemon（Toyasai）won an Order ofCulture from the Emperor of Japan.

Kaga Inlaying is the process in which a pattern is carved deep
into a base metal, upon which it is ﬁlled with another type ofmetal. The traditions of Kaga Inlaying have been passed down
by craftsmen summoned to Kanazawa from Kyoto by the Kaga
Domain in the 1600s. The main objects historically produced
were decorative sword ﬁttings and horse stirrups, which featurea technique called hira-zogan, that is, where the inlayed metal
called mon-gane, is it filled flush to the surface of the othermetal. This technique insures that the mon-gane will not comeoﬀ no matter what kind of attack is absorbed, and its strengthand digniﬁed design are masterful.
More recently, Kaga Inlaying techniques have been utilized tomake ﬂower vases, incense burners, and other types of accessories.
In 2004, Mamoru Nakagawa was designated in Japan as an Important Intangible Cultural Asset (National Living Treasure).

Tea Kettles and their History
In 1583, Toshinaga Maeda, the second generation
daimyo of the Kaga Domain, summoned Noto metalfounder Hikokuro-Yoshitsuna Miyazaki to Kanazawa. His
grandson, Yoshikazu, studied casting tea kettles under
the instruction of Sen-no-Soshitsu Senso of the Urasenke
School, who was invited from Kyoto as magistrate of tea
ceremony. Yoshikazu became the clan's designated tea
kettle caster and produced a number of masterpieces.
He was conferred the title Kanchi-an, and became
known as the father of tea kettle making in Kaga. The
Miyazaki family, currently in its 14th generation, continues to preserve the traditional techniques passed downfrom their forefathers. The raw material used to makethese tea kettles is wa-tetsu, which is the product of
crushed iron from old pots and pans.

Gongs and their History
Gongs are used as a signal to indicate that the
preparations for tea ceremony have been completed.
They are a percussion instrument from Southeast Asia
(in particular ancient Java), and it is said that they werebrought to Japan via China. In Japan, in addition to theirusage in tea ceremonies, they were also used to indicate
departing ships.
The making of the gongs, which involves casting using
a bronze and tin alloy, followed by finishing the gongwith lacquer, requires high level forging technique, as
well as superior sense of pitch.
In 2002, Iraku Uozumi the 3rd was designated in Japanas an Important Intangible Cultural Asset (National
Living Treasure).

Mizuhiki (string craft) is a type of decorative stringused to adorn presents and special envelopes. In Kanazawa, the string itself is not produced, however, handiwork
which utilizes the strings is made.
A particular attribute of Kaga Mizuhiki is its threedimensional handiwork and way the string is folded. Sokichi Tsuda the 1st came up with this original idea, whichchanged the hitherto ﬂat mizuhiki into gorgeous, realistic
depictions of cranes and turtles, as well as shochikubai(the auspicious grouping of pine, bamboo, and plum trees),among others. Mizuhiki are used in many applications, including as ornamentation to special envelopes, as well as
in decorative straps for cell phones and key chains.

Paulownia Craft and its History

craft spread throughout Japan.
In recent times, the superior qualities of paulownia
craft, namely its techniques, ﬁre resistance, and humidity resistance, have been applied to create items such as
flower vases, plates, and small drawers. The wood possesses a warm quality, and can become a new part ofyour lifestyle.

From 1592 to 1596 in Kanazawaʼs Futamata Area, highquality Kaga Hosho paper (traditional white Japanese paper) came to be manufactured owing to the patronage ofthe Kaga Domain. In order to make the paper, materials
such as mulberry wood, mitsumata (oriental paper bush)are collected and then the paper is crafted by hand using
integrated production that starts with the processing of
the woodʼs bark.
A unique characteristic of Futamata Washi is its longshelf life. Even now, it is a preferred Hosho paper forJapanese calligraphers, and it is also used in graduation
certificates among other applications. Futamata Washi
postcards and letter sets also enjoy popularity.

Kaga Fly Fishing Lures and their History
During the feudal period of the Kaga Domain (1583-1868),
samurai warriors would often go ﬁshing for ayu (sweetﬁsh)
to build their physiques. As such, the samurais of thosetimes created ayu ﬂy ﬁshing lures. Ayu ﬁshing subsequently spread to the general masses, however, only the Kagaarea used fly fishing lures to catch the fish. After being
exhibited at the 1890 National Industrial Exhibition, Kagaﬂy ﬁshing lures vaulted to fame. Kaga ﬂy ﬁshing lures are
unique in that their needle does not have a hook, and that
their beautiful designs, which use materials such as goldleaf, and the plumage of green and copper pheasants, resemble aquatic insects, and have both style and practicality.

Kaga Temari and its History
Kaga Temari (a folk art handball) has its roots in the
Edo Period (1603 ‒ 1867), when the Shogun Tokugawa
Ieyasuʼs granddaughter Tama-hime is said to havebrought one with her when she was married into the
Maeda family at the age of three. Even now in Kanazawa,
there is still a custom of using a Kaga Temari as a talisman against evil when a bride gets married.
To make Kaga Temari, string is rolled tightly arounditself to make the base ball, upon which bright multicolored strings are manipulated into elaborate geometrical patterns. It is a very popular souvenir to bring backhome after a trip to Japan.
