Kanazawa Gold Leaf, also known as "Kanazawa Haku" (金沢箔), is a traditional craft originating from Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Kanazawa is renowned for its production of gold leaf, which has been a part of Japanese culture for centuries.

The process of creating Kanazawa gold leaf involves meticulously hammering pure gold into thin sheets, which are then cut into various sizes and used for decorating various objects such as ceramics, lacquerware, and even food. Kanazawa gold leaf is incredibly thin, often measuring around 0.0001 millimeters, making it delicate and requiring skilled craftsmanship to handle.
