Makuahine and Kaikamahine

 

Mother and Daughter Pa’u Hula Dancers
Kahiwa (Chosen One) and Ho’onui (Rising Moon)

Birth Date: Pepeluali 2, 2021 (02/02/21)


Kea He Makani O Aloha.

The gentle wafting breeze of love.


Kahiwa and Ho’onui beckon you to allow the spirit of Aloha to shine from your Soul!

The sacred drumming of the Ipu Heke (gourd drum) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Kahiwa and her daughter Ho’onui dance, drum and chant with the Akuas (spirits) of the Island.

With honesty, kindness, humbleness and in harmony with their true selves, Kahiwa and Ho’onui truly live in the spirit of Aloha.
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.
The Menehune Ohana (family) watches in awe as the harmony of Ipu Heke, Hula and chant attunes them to spirit and gladdens their heart.

As mother and daughter, Kahiwa and Ho’onui share a deep bond of love and unity.

Kahiwa is her Ho’onui’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful chants and movements of the Hula.

Kahiwa sewed Ho’onui's and her own matching Pa’u Hula skirts and tops out of a purple fabric with green flowers and a green underskirt.

Kahiwa wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha into Ho’onui’s and her own sweet smelling Puakenikeni flower Haku (head lei), necklace, wrist and ankle leis.

Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Kahiwa picked the most beautiful one for Ho’onui's Ipu and picked another one for herself. Then she cleaned and polished them. Kahiwa blessed the Ipus with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The gourds are sacred now. Ho’onui’s Ipu was created for her and only she is allowed to touch it. The Ipu is Ho’onui’s most treasured possession.
All these precious things were Kahiwa’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Kaikamahine (daughter).

Kahiwa is a 10” tall cloth doll and Ho’onui is 7” tall. They were individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. The bodies are made out of doll skin, stuffed with high quality poly fill and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouths are intricately embroidered onto the faces. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Kahiwa and Ho’onui are not dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto them. Except for the skirts which can be removed. 

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!

Kahiwa and Ho’onui are a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Dolls and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. They are collector’s items bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Every bit of Kahiwa and Ho’onui has been lovingly handcrafted to create new friends who will last a lifetime.

Kahiwa and Ho’onui are is ready to be your new friends 
and dance their way into your heart.

Kahiwa and Ho’onui reflect the spirit of kindness and humbleness.
