In order to activate Hakata Doll and Fukuoka city, the collaborative team between Faculty of Fine Arts at the Kyushu Sangyo University, Hakata Doll Commerce and Industrial Association and Fukuoka City developed original Hakata Dolls, HAKATA OFUKU. The HAKATA OFUKU were open to public inspection in some facilities in Fukuoka, and Digital Signage was placed alongside them for the description of each doll and popularity vote. AI and sensor are applied in the Digital Signage for effective and efficient marketing. The result of the vote shows that preferred dolls vary according to age and gender. In this study, we report about how we developed the Digital Signage and discuss the result of the vote.
