Hakata dolls, produced in Fukuoka, are known for their smooth clay forms, expressive faces, and delicate hand-painting that bring scenes of Japanese life and culture to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure portrays a young dancer wearing a soft pastel kimono in light blue and pink, decorated with simple spiral motifs and tied with a black obi. The child lifts both hands to hold a woven straw hat (amigasa or sugegasa), a signature pose of Awa Odori dancers. The gentle facial expression, rosy cheeks, and small red lips reflect the charming innocence typical of warabe-style Hakata dolls, which often represent children engaged in traditional activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAwa Odori originates from Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku Island and is performed during the lively summer Obon festival. The dance is characterized by rhythmic movements, raised arms, and coordinated steps accompanied by shamisen, drums, and flutes. Dancers wearing straw hats are especially iconic, creating graceful silhouettes as they move through the streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis folk craft captures the joyful spirit of the festival in miniature form. As both a decorative object and cultural keepsake, the doll celebrates Japan’s regional traditions and the artistry of handcrafted Hakata ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 8 x 6 x 10cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56721133371723,"sku":"K10206","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_95bedc5d-555c-4cee-a9e4-d694ad422c52.jpg?v=1772903263","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/products\/k10206-folk-craft-hakata-ningyo-%e5%8d%9a%e5%a4%9a%e4%ba%ba%e5%bd%a2","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
