Have you ever heard of gold leaf? It’s called “Kinpaku” in Japanese.
Gold leaf is made by beating gold down to 1/10,000th of a millimeter in thickness. In ancient times, it was used as decoration for shrines, Buddhist statues, and crafts. In Japan, gold leaf was being manufactured in the latter half of the 16th century. (Various theories exist.)
