<Hakata Doll>
Hakata Dolls are clay dolls which became popular in the 1600s in Hakata, Kyushu.
The craftsmaster uses skill to mould the figure from clay, cook to harden the clay, then paint each figure with fine brushes.
In 1976, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry appointed the traditional craft and its dolls as representatives of the country of Japan.
