From ancient times, this land has been a crossroads of trade routes and a gateway to the world by sea. People, goods, and cultures have continuously flowed through, bringing new values into the city and then sending them back to the world in return.
In 1963, the five cities of Moji, Kokura, Tobata, Yahata, and Wakamatsu carried out a uniquely equal and unprecedented merger, creating a new frontier: Kitakyushu City.
Their histories and identities overlapped, resonating like a mandala, where connection and recognition of values creates a dynamic cycle that generates new energy.
