Hakata dolls are painted clay figures that date back as far as the early 17th century; originally, they used the same clay that went into making roofs. They gradually evolved into highly artistic creations. In the early 20th century, they caused a sensation at a number of international expositions in the West, and became a popular Japanese export. This shop offers the opportunity to paint a clay doll yourself and take it home as a souvenir.
