Introduction

The Fukuoka City Museum in Momochihama, Sawara-ku, opened in 1990; its permanent exhibition tells the story of Fukuoka as a gateway of foreign interchange and of the people who lived here. The star artefact is the National Treasure gold seal of the King of Na, bestowed by the Later Han emperor — a core source on ancient Japan's ties with East Asia.
