Toy-filled Fukuoka Toy Museum’s warm atmosphere invites everyone to unleash their creative potential. This experience starts with a bare-foot facility tour before leading to competitive team-building challenges, including strategically stacking “tsumiki” wooden blocks and creating traditional “Okawa Kumiko” wood crafts. As a token of appreciation, group names are engraved on a wooden block displayed in the museum.
“Okawa Kumiko” is the name of Kumiko wood crafts made in Fukuoka’s Okawa City. Here, craftsmen create geometric patterns using local techniques passed down for over 300 years. In this workshop, artisan Nitahara Tategu, will introduce you to the history of Okawa Kumiko, demonstrate its usage in elevating modern interior design, and guide you to create your own Okawa Kumiko, an embodiment of Fukuoka’s artisanal spirit.
ArtBar Fukuoka’s interactive program lets you sample the local traditional art and sake scenes. Sip away as you learn about “suibokuga,” a classic Japanese ink art style, and recreate a scene from “Choju-jinbutsugiga,” a famous set of scrolls depicting animals and humans frolicking together. The scrolls are believed to have been created in the 12th century and are often regarded as Japan’s oldest manga.
Traditional Hakata dolls have been made in Fukuoka for over 400 years, and now you can personalize and paint your very own.
