Sacred Dance of the Kupunas!

 

Kupuna Momi (Pearl), the Hula Dancer 

Birth Date: Lanuali 24, 2021 (01/24/21) 

Aloha Mai 

I come with love. 

Momi connects our hearts and actions with Aloha. 

Focus on your higher purpose, choose wisely and you will grow, 

flourish and blossom in unlimited possibilities! 

High up in the Kaiholena Mountains the divine rhythm of Koko’s Ipu (gourd) and Piko’s Puili sticks (bamboo rattles) echoes the wisdom of the ancestors. Kupuna Momi gracefully dances the Hula to the enchanting beat of her Mo’opuna Kane’s (grandson’s) Ipu and his cousin’s Piko’s Puili sticks.

 

Together they honor the Akuas (divine spirits) of the forest. 

Momi is a Kupuna, one of the older people honored with Aloha as grandparents and ancestors by all. Kupunas are the source of experience, knowledge, guidance, strength and inspiration to the next generations.
They are a blessing being the ones we came from, who have lived before us and who we live for today.

 

Momi and her sister Lokahi dance with the Akuas of the Ohia Forest. 

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.

Momi's Hula attunes us to spirit and gladdens the heart. 

Momi wears a beige Muumuu with a red and yellow Hibiscus flower design. Her white hair bun is adorned with a flower, fern and leaf hairpiece.
Momi wears a Kukui nut, conch shell and Maile leaf lei around her neck. Maile is the lei of eternal love. Kukui represents inner light and spirit revealing itself.

Momi 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.

Momi is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her. 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. Do not brush the hair!

Momi is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Every bit of Momi has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

Momi is ready to be your new friend and dance her way into your heart. 

Momi’s Mana attunes us to the spirit of Aloha.
