They will be sold at 8:00 a.m. on Sep. 12 at Hojoya, one of three major festivals in Fukuoka City. The festival runs from Sep. 12 ~ 18. The name hajiki derives from a Japanese verb haji-ku meaning \u201cto flip\u201d or \u201cto repel.\u201d So Hojoya Hajiki is considered as a sort of lucky charm to ward off bad luck. The set includes 27 pieces of hajiki or flat ceramics with different designs. Each piece is created under a given theme that changes every year. They are not for children to play with but for display and are made by bisque-firing the clay, same as those for creating Hakata dolls. It took two months that the craftsmen create all those items. This year\u2019s Hojoya Hajiki set features Hakata\u2019s major events, local specialties, and historic items and people such as the gold seal, Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival, motsunabe (beef offal stew), Kuroda Kanbei (Josui), and the Western Japan Ohori Fireworks Fans of Hojoya Hajiki often queue the day before, and, in many cases, they sell out very quickly.
