●What is
Hakata-ori textile?
Along with Hakata Dolls, Hakata-ori Textile
is an artcraft representing Hakata. (Hakata is generally
an alternative name for Fukuoka City today although historically
it denoted a certain commercial area within the city.) The
origin of this weaving art dates back to the medieval age
of the 13th century (the Kamakura Period). Over this great
span of time Hakata-ori has been an inseparable part of
the lives of the people and the town of Hakata. This homepage
is designed to introduce this special and unique textile
to people around the world. We are confident that you will
find the textile products interesting, inspiring and representative
of Japan, its history, its art and its culture.
