About Hakata Dolls

Hakata specialty clay dolls. Use unglazed dolls made of clay in the suburbs near Hakata, and then apply mud paint. It is said that when Nagamasa Kuroda was building the Fukuoka City in 1600, the tilemaker Muneyoshi Masaki made a doll as tribute, which is seen as the beginning of the Hakata Doll. The production process involves the production of molds, clay forming, baking and coloring, and requires skilled skills. There are many kinds of dolls, including beautiful female dolls, male dolls, children's dolls, and characters that have appeared in art forms such as Noh, Kabuki, and Ukiyo-e. Art crafts derived from traditional skills are still very popular today.
