Papatuanuku uses her life-giving heart to spread the gift of life across the Maori world, creating a beautiful land inhabited by flora, fauna, and humans.

Papatuanuku represents creation and life.

She is the embodiment of the earth.

Papatuanuku values nature and the beauty that comes alongside it. She moves with gentle grace and a tranquil expression matching her radiant features.

The cultural strength and beauty of the Maori people inspired the creation of Hawaiian Art Papatuanuku, the Earth Goddess.

Papatuanuku’s body and beautiful green hair are covered with ferns and flowers over her flowing brown earth dress. She is holding the Mother Earth in her hands.

Papatuanuku’s Moko Kauae (chin tatoo) is a physical manifestation of her true identity. It is believed every Māori woman wears a moko on the inside, close to their heart; when they are ready, the tattoo artist simply brings it out to the surface. The moko is a rite of passage between girl and adulthood.

Papatuanuku 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 Polynesia. 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 are individually hand crafted.
Papatuanuku 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 dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. You may gently finger comb her hair.

Papatuanuku is an original design and comes with a booklet and a certificate of authenticity.

Papatuanuku is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. She is a display doll and collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Polynesia. Every bit of Papatuanuku has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

Papatuanuku is ready to be your new friend and grow her way into your heart.

Kane, Hawaiian God of Creation

Kane

Hawaiian God of Creation

Kane is believed to have come through the gateway of the rising sun at Ha’eha’e, the easternmost point in the Hawaiian Islands.
In Hawaiian mythology Kane is the most revered of the four major gods (Kane, Ku, Kanaloa and Lono). 

Kane is the god of procreation, creation and the sky. He is also worshipped as the ancestor of chiefs and commoners.

The Kumuhonua legend tells that Kane created earth, sea creatures, animals, plants, as well as man and woman. Kāne is the creator and the giver of life associated with dawn, sun and sky.

According to ancient Hawaiian mythology, it is believed that in the beginning, there was only Po; the endless black chaos. By an act of sheer will, Kane pulled himself free of Po. Lono and Ku followed him.
Kane created light to push back Po. Lono brought sound to the universe and Ku brought substance. Then they created all the lesser Gods and the Menehune to be their messengers and servants. Next the four Gods shaped the world. At last, they molded clay with their spittle into the shape of a man in the image of Kane and breathed life into the statue.”

Kane is strongly connected and often walks with Kanaloa, the God of the Ocean, thrusting his digging stick into rocks and releasing gushes of fresh water wherever he goes. On their journeys together Kane and Kanaloa would share the sacred drink of 'Awa (drink of the gods). Striking the ground with his staffs Kane caused hidden springs of fresh water to burst forth.

Kane’s regenerative waters have the power to create and renew.

They provide refreshment and rejuvenation, the light of understanding and 

the ability to begin again.

Kane is the “inner source that guides us to well springs within our own psyches”.

All aspects of life are sacred to Kane in the flow of his creation.

Kane’s waters restore energy and harmony.

The great God Kane inspired the creation of Hawaiian Art Doll Kane.
