Traditional Crafts of Fukuoka, Japan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hakataori (weaving)<\/strong>
\nThe traditional pattern of this high-quality textile that was once presented to the shogun<\/em> is now a symbol of Hakata.<\/p>\n

Hakataori cloth has a history of more than 770 years. It is said that its roots are from the Hakata merchants who brought the technique back with them from Song Dynasty China. The characteristic thick, tightly woven cloth is made by driving strong weft threads into many warp threads and has continued to be loved as the cloth used in obi<\/em> sashes for kimono<\/em> and yukata<\/em> (cotton summer kimono<\/em>) since long ago. In 1600, this special fabric was chosen by the first lord of the Chikuzen Fukuoka clan as an offering to the shogun. Because of this history, even now, the traditional pattern of Hakataori cloth is called “Kenjo-gara,” meaning “offering pattern,” and, as a symbolic pattern of the Hakata area, you can see it used in various places around town.<\/p>\n

Aganoyaki (ceramics)<\/strong>
\nBased on pride and tradition. Aganoyaki tea ceramics that express the spirit of Japan’s unique tea ceremony.<\/p>\n

The history of Aganoyaki dates back to 1602. It is said that a big feature of its roots is in the “cha sue” or tea pot used in tea ceremonies because the pottery was born from the encounter between the Korean pottery of Ri and Sankai and the first lord of the Buzen Kokura-han (clan), Hosokawa Tadaoki, whose teacher Sen no Rikyu laid the foundation for the tea ceremony. Also, there is pride and tradition because since the beginning of the ceramics studio, special pieces have been made for the lords to use. Now, the quality of the ceramics is backed by 400 years of history, with a fineness you can feel, and magnificent pieces continue to be produced one after another.<\/p>\n

Koishiwarayaki (ceramics)<\/strong>
\nThe origin of Koishiwarayaki pottery was when the 3rd lord of the Chikuzen Fukuoka clan, following Imari’s popularity in porcelain production, began making pottery in 1682. When the kiln was first opened, there was a time when porcelain was made but they came to make ceramics through developments from exchange with Takatoriyaki ceramics of the same region which had been used for tea dishes since 1669. The main feature of Koishiwarayaki is the regular pattern put in systematically using a brush or edge of a blade while the vessel turns on the wheel. Techniques called “tobiganna” (literally flying planes) and “hakeme” (brush eye) are used to create a pattern that is neat but warm. These various pieces for daily use have been made continuously through every era and they are still loved by people all over Japan.<\/p>\n

Kurume kasuri<\/em> (weaving)<\/strong>
\nWarmth created by the textured pattern for rustic beauty in everyday clothes.<\/p>\n

Cotton fabric and Kurume kasuri<\/em> cloth from the Chikugo region. In the past, durable cotton fabric ideal for work clothes was hand-woven in each household. For everyday wear, plain clothes with an emphasis on practicality were common 200 years ago. The technique of bringing a gentle pattern of texture out in the fabric was created by the accidental discovery of a farmer’s daughter. By dyeing the cotton threads then weaving, subtle misalignment occurred, resulting in a unique pattern. This is the main charm and feature of Kurume kasuri<\/em>. Now, there are not only traditional geometric patterns and indigo dye, but many products are also being made with modern patterns and pop colors.<\/p>\n

Yame Fukushima butsudan<\/em> (Buddhist altar)<\/strong>
\nIt is a symbol of Japanese faith, the crystallization craft workers’ skill.<\/p>\n

The Yame region has been a place of strong Buddhist faith since ancient times, and a lot of historic temples still remain now. It is thought that because of this local character, butsudan<\/em> production came to flourish in Yame. The manufacturing technology was established around 1850. From that time onwards, craftsmen divided the work of carving, finishing, etc. between a number of workers to create a single altar, a style which has been handed down to the present day. Currently it is divided into six branches, and about 80 processes are performed before completion. It is an exquisite piece that can be considered a collaborative art by expert craftsmen.<\/p>\n
