Hello, the gold leaf paper used in this painting is made in Japan. This painting technique originated in the Tang Dynasty of China and flourished during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Golden leaf painting is a unique form of traditional Chinese art, primarily using mud and colored ink. It is cherished for its splendid and luxurious imagery. During the Tang Dynasty, golden leaf paintings displayed a dazzling visual effect, gaining popularity in the imperial court alongside silk paintings, especially for depictions of Buddhist figures and floral and bird themes. Golden leaf painting involves creating artwork on non-absorbent gold leaf with a base layer of gold powder. Due to the gold leaf's resistance to ink absorption, the artist must meticulously layer precious pigments like crystal white, sapphire blue, and emerald green, creating a detailed composition. Chinese paintings using gold leaf paper fall into two categories: domestically produced gold leaf paper and Japanese gold leaf paper. The smooth texture of gold leaf paper poses a challenge, requiring clean and precise brushwork. Patience and repeated blending are crucial to avoid smudging the delicate surface. Despite the invention of rice paper and the subsequent rise of literati painting, the labor-intensive golden leaf painting declined. However, the exquisite nature of "金箋畫" remains highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and intricate beauty.
