Rekiseisha specializes in a unique, tarnish-resistant metal leaf paper crafted through traditional Japanese gilding techniques. As the only manufacturer in the world with the expertise to produce this material, the company offers innovative decorative solutions that blend ancient artistry with contemporary luxury.

Rekiseisha was founded in 1905 by Seijiro Hisanaga. He set out to develop a more accessible alternative using brass leaf. Through years of trial and error with adhesives and rigorous durability testing, he successfully commercialized Japan’s first tarnish-resistant brass leaf paper. This breakthrough offered the same lasting brilliance as real gold, but with a level of durability that made it practical for everyday use.

Rekiseisha’s reputation for excellence has since spread worldwide, expanding its presence far beyond Japan. Today, its products are featured in prestigious locations across the globe, from historic temples to modern luxury hotels.
