Hakata-ori (博多織) is a traditional Japanese textile that has been produced in Fukuoka Prefecture for more than 770 years.[1]
There are two varieties of hakata-ori: kenjo hakata-ori and mon ori hakata-ori. Kenjo hakata-ori is woven in a traditional pattern related to Buddhist beliefs, and was influenced by fabrics produced in Sui dynasty China.[vague] Mon ori hakata-ori is the name used for hakata-ori containing multi-coloured designs.[2]
Hakata-ori is most commonly found as the material for men's obi, though both men and women wear hakata-ori obi. Hakata-ori is also used to produce a number of different products not related to kimono and kimono accessories, such as handbags, neck ties and scarves.[3][4][5][6][2][7]
