Aiwa Ka Mano Hua Dress- Delft/Fog/Butter

This Hua Dress features our Aiwa Ka Mano print on Delft material with Fog and Butter ink. Aiwa Ka Mano The words to this chant speak of migration, led by nine sharks, traversing the Pacific to Hawaiʻi. This mele, handwritten by Tūtū Kawena, was presented to the Kanakaʻole ʻOhana. Drawn out by Nālani Kanakaʻole, the ʻohe kāpala was hand-cut by Kehau Kaula. Kaula then printed a kīhei with the stamps, creating the fabric layout. This is one of the designs created for Eia Mai Eiwa, the exhibit at Bishop Museum, celebrating hula and its teachings for the Zane-Kanakaʻole ʻohana. Hua Dress As the thirteenth day of the moon phase, Hua is just before the full moon phases. Shaped like an egg, this is a good time to plant fruiting trees. In business, this is great day to start a company or collaborate! Honoring this moon phase, we have named this dress Hua. The silhouette is A-shaped, tea length, stand-up collar, and easy button-up front. Comfort for everyday wear! 100% Cotton
