Hakata-Ori and Hakata-Ningyo have been reborn!

Fukuoka City’s “Traditional crafts for inbound tourists” development project
Hakata-Ori and Hakata-Ningyo have been reborn!
The traditional crafts, Hakata-Ori and Hakata-Ningyo, are the pride of Fukuoka and as such, we’d like to share the charm and the wonder of these crafts with more and more people. With that in mind, and with the hope of giving a ‘Fukuoka-esque’ feeling to the many people who visit from all around the world, we decided to embark on a new project. The Project Team ‘Hakata Kogei Lovers’ is made up of Hakata-Ori weavers and Hakata-Ningyo artists as well as local designers, radio DJ’s of various nationalities, marketers and facilitators. In addition, we have designers who are working oveseas as special advisers to our project. Through market research, we were able to hear the voices of tourists who came from overseas, of international students, of foreign buyers, of designers and of our own team. And from all of these voices, a new kind of Hakata-Ori and Hakata-Ningyo was born.

Fukukaburi neko
A Fukuoka cat to bring good fortune
Cats love boxes and bags. As soon as they spot one, they jump in and make it their own. It’s that very charm that inspired this adorable cat. In Japanese, ‘fuku o kaburu’ can be read as ‘covered with a bag’ or ‘covered with good fortune’ and looking at it all together, ‘fukuokaburu’, you can also see Fukuoka in there, making this auspicious kitty uniquely Fukuoka’s.
