The origin of Hakata dolls was in 1600, when many craftsmen gathered in the area with the move of feudal lord Kuroda Nagamasa(黒田長政) to Chikuzen(Fukuoka Prefecture) to rule. During the Late Edo Era, excellent craftsmen such as Masaki Soshichi, Nakanoko Kichibei, and Shirozu Buhei produced great works, and their dolls were sold throughout Kyushu and around the Seto Inland Sea. After the Meiji Era, artists produced modern Hakata dolls and presented them at international exhibitions in Paris(1890), Saint Louis, and other cities all over the world. The dolls earned an excellent reputation, becoming known throughout the world as dolls representative of Japan and being exported overseas. These days, about 100 doll-makers continue to use the traditional doll-making technique while daring to explore new possibilities.
