Hakata Gion Yamakasa
Two kinds of float: one thirteen metres tall to be looked at, one built to be run with - and their design logic differs entirely.

Kushida Shrine
Where the float festival begins; one decorated float stands here all year, so the doll-makers' work is always visible.
Yame
Yame Fukushima District
A town of altar and lantern makers, where the workshops face the street and the houses are behind them.

Thin boards bent with heat and stitched with cherry bark, made originally for shrine ritual.

Hakata Spinning Tops
Tops made for street performance, weighted so precisely they will spin on the tip of a sword.

Okawa Furniture
Timber came here by river and shipwrights' joinery turned into cabinetmaking - now Japan's largest furniture district.
Itoshima
Studios of Itoshima
Not a craft district but a scattering of individual studios, formed by people who moved here for the coast.
