NIPPON Kichi - 日本吉

2007/5/7

金箔(ドーミーイン金沢 中庭) Kinpaku(Domiin-Kanazawa Nakaniwa) Gold Foil (Courtyard in Dormy Inn Kanazawa)

Jp En


Gold foil, which is  pure gold, is mixed with small amounts of silver or copper, so its color may change through years.
The square corners of the photo are where water vapor from the hot springs has bubbled over and they are continuously exposed to water. Moreover, because some of the water comes from the ‘natural hot spring’, the material is corroded easily.  So, gold foil was applied to the back of the acrylic board to protect the surface.
You cannot find any spot of attachment glue on the gold foil.
Even though the foil is exposed to water, it has a  beautiful gloss.
Seen from the lobby of the hotel, it seems as if a hot spring were bubbling up from a gold ingot.
