I'm looking for a powder that glitters more than gold mud (kindei).

This is a question we often get from overseas customers. They are looking for sparkling pure gold powder.

This is probably because they have seen lacquerware works and are wondering "I'd like to try that, but what is it?

"The shining gold powder in lacquerware works is called "HIrame gold powder" and "Marufun gold powder," and is completely different from Kindei/Keshi gold powder that is used for painting.
