Exhibition of Hakata Okiage, Yanagawa Mari & Sagemon

In Hakata, raised cloth pictures are called “Okiage”. A wooden paddle known as hagoita, which is brought to life through colorful Okiage decoration, is a good-luck charm that is said to be able to ward off disasters. Sagemon is a decoration hung from the ceiling that combines 51 handcrafted trinkets such as Yanagawa Mari, decorated cotton balls made into intricate designs, and other colorful, delicately made accessories. This is made to pray for young girls to grow up healthy and strong. Come and take a look at this wonderful display.
