Hakata dolls (Hakata ningyo) are unglazed clay dolls from Fukuoka's Hakata city, known for their soft colors, delicate expressions, and graceful curves. Celebrated since their debut at the 1900 Paris World Exposition, they are now a popular gift for international visitors and are exported worldwide. Considered an intangible cultural property of Fukuoka, Hakata dolls come in various forms, from feminine figures and Noh actors to good luck charms and seasonal festival dolls. The modern form of Hakata dolls emerged in the Edo period, gaining their name and recognition at the 1890 Third Domestic Industrial Exhibition.
