Thank you for these instructions. This is very precious and detailed learning material. I live in Spain and I cannot find あかし紙 anywhere. Any chance we could see a tutorial on how to make our own at home? Thank you! 🙏
So do you paint the painting on the paper first, and then apply gold leaf? Or just paint straight on the gold leaf after the dosa solution has dried? Where can I purchase the dosa solution? I live in the States Tried searching dosa solution and all I found was Indian crepe recipes 😂. Is the a site where I can purchase nihonga painting products?
Whichever is OK! If you apply Gold leaf directly on washi paper, it is better to do 捨て膠 Sutenikawa. 捨て膠 is to put nikawa solution on washi once before applying Gold leaf. It will let the gold leaf fix on the paper stronger. When searching on internet, I guess it's better to search in Japanese (Dosa is ドーサ in Japanese) and then google translate the website that comes up. pigment.tokyo/?set_language=en Here is an URL of an art supply store (with Nihonga materials) that does international shipping.

Hello Kiyo, thank you for sharing this beautiful gilding technique. Please suggest where can I purchase Dosa biki washi, nikawa, dosa sizing solution and other supplies on line. Many thanks.
Here's a list of stores that do international shipping :) Dosa biki washi → OZUWASHI www.ozuwashi.net/en/ Nikawa, dosa sizing solution etc. → PIGMENT TOKYO pigment.tokyo/en Metal leaves → SHIZENDO shizendou.myshopify.com/en
There are many online shops that you can purchase Nihonga materials in Japan, but if you live in the US, this is the only shop I know so far that does international shipping. pigment.tokyo/?set_language=en You can paint on gold or silver leaves in the same way as painting on washi paper, though the surface is a bit slippery.
Hello Kiyo. I have a question. What is the size of the gold leaf in Japan? It looks larger than the US, and European, which are 8 cm. Do you know of a supplier who ships overseas? Thank you!
There are several sizes, and the major size of gold leaf in Japan is 10.9cm. Hakuichi is a supplier that ships overseas, though you might need some Japanese. hakuichi.jp/faq/?faq_id=7508&category_id=2
Kanazawa is also a good supplier. I just found out now that they sell gold leaf on amazon.co.jp. It might be easier to order since you can see the website in English. www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%8B%E3%81%AA%E3%81%96%E3%82%8F%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%83%8B-%E3%80%90%E7%B4%94%E9%87%91%E7%AE%94%E3%80%91%E9%87%91%E7%AE%94-%E5%B7%A5%E8%8A%B8%E7%94%A8-4%E5%8F%B7%E8%89%B2-10%E6%9E%9A/dp/B008EQG6QE

But, Do you also have a video of how to make your own akashi-gami ?
Unfortunately I don't.

Great video. Is adding gold leaf to paintings an indigenous Japanese development, or was it inspired by Chinese/Korean painting styles?
It is said that it was originally brought from China :)
Thanks. Do you know of any extant examples of earlier Chinese paintings and their artists?
Hello
May I ask a something?
When you put akashi-gami on the gold leaf,
Should the coated side?or uncoated side? thank you for good video.
The metal leaves stick to the coated side :)
@@KIYOHASEGAWA thank you 😘
