Aloha Mai
I come with love.
Mochi and Kiki connect our hearts and actions with Aloha.
Focus on your higher purpose, choose wisely and you will grow,
flourish and blossom in unlimited possibilities!
The graceful movements of their hands and bodies tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.
Mochi's and Kiki's Hula attunes us to spirit and gladdens the heart.
Mochi is a beautiful girl, sweet and soft like the rice cake she is named after.
Mochi’s Tutu (grandmother) is her Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful movements of the Kahiko Hula.
Tutu also sewed the traditional pink Pa’u hula skirt and matching top with a Plumeria flower design. Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Mochi's green feather and Kukui nut Haku (head lei), wrist and ankle leis. In Hawaii the Hulu (feather) represents spiritual strength, unity and love. It is believed to link to the divine. Kukui nuts symbolize light and protection.
Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful one for Mochi's Ipu. She cleaned and polished it. Tutu blessed the Ipu with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The gourd is sacred now. It was created for Mochi and only she is allowed to touch it. The Ipu became Mochi’s most treasured possession.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).
Mochi is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.
Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.
Mochi is an original design and comes with a booklet and a certificate of authenticity.
She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.
Mochi is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. Every bit of her has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
Mochi and Kiki are ready to be your new friends and dance their way into your heart.
Mochi’s and Kiki's Mana attunes us to the spirit of Aloha.
