This is genuine gold leaf. It's HAKUKOKAN brand gold leaf in a bottle. It has not been opened and the contents are unused, but the bottle has some cloudiness due to long-term storage at home. Since the details of whether it is edible are unknown, I am selling it for ornamental, craft, or decorative use. Please check the photos for the condition, and only purchase if you understand. The bottle will be carefully wrapped in cushioning material and shipped.
