FUKUOKA

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 291 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FUKUOKA , a town on the north-west
coast
  of the
island
  of Kiushiu, Japan, in the province of Chikuzen, 90 m. N.N.E. of
Nagasaki
  by rail. Pop. about 72,000. With Hakata, on the opposite side of a small
coast
  stream, it forms a large centre of population, with an increasing export
trade
  and several local
industries
 . Of these the most important is
silk
 -weaving, and Hakata especially is noted for its durable
silk
  fabrics. Fukuoka was formerly the residence of the powerful daimio of Chikuzen, and played a conspicuous part in the medieval history of Japan; the renowned temple of Yeiyas in the
district
  was destroyed by fire during the revolution of 1868. There are several other places of this name in Japan, the most important being Fukuoka in the province of
Mutsu
 , North Nippon, a railway station on the main line from
Tokyo
  to Aimori Ura Bay. Pop. about 5000.
