弓野人形
Yumino Nigyo


博多人形師によって誕生しました。博多人形の完成された美に飽き足らない思いを抱いた人形師の原田亀次郎が、九州各地で修行した後、1882 年に弓野地区で製作した土人形が始まりと言われています。
Yumino Ningyo are often made from materials such as clay or wood and are characterized by their vibrant colors and detailed clothing. They commonly depict various themes, including historical figures, traditional folklore, and everyday life scenes. The dolls are created using techniques passed down through generations, emphasizing the skill and artistry of local artisans. These dolls are not only decorative pieces but also serve as cultural artifacts, representing the rich traditions of the Yumino area and showcasing the region's unique artistic expression.
