The region is particularly famous for its exquisite gold leaf, which can be found on everything from ancient artifacts to modern art pieces. Kutani pottery is another celebrated craft, known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The capital city, Kanazawa, is home to the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, a diverse collection of modern art from both Japanese and international artists.

Together, these features make Ishikawa a prefecture that blends artistic charm and scenic splendor.
