Musubi, Tying Hearts Together

 

Musubi and Pua’a

Birthdate: Mei 22, 2025 (05/22/25)

The Mana of Musubi ties hearts together.

Wrapped in nori (seaweed), Musubi originates from Japanese mythology and refers to the power of creation and the divine work of spirits. The act of binding brings forth sacred energy, reflecting on the importance of human connection.

Spam Musubi is Musubi’s absolutely favorite food! It is so Ono (delicious). He could eat one after the other. That is why he was named after it.

Today he comfortably rides on Pua’a’s back through the enchanting Ohia forest cherishing all they see, hear, and feel. Lots of treasures, like rocks, nuts, fruits and flowers, are everywhere. Musubi happily waves at everything. Sometimes his little sister Momona and her dog Poki join them on their walks.

Pua’a is Musubi’s Aumakua (guardian spirit). She has become his constant companion and closest friend.

Musubi and Pua’a love playing, dancing, singing, and, most of all, eating. If you hanai (adopt) them, love them, and take care of them, they will love you in return with unconditional Aloha, guide, protect, and inspire you on your life's journey.

Musubi’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed his Aloha shirt and matching shorts with a pineapple design. She also crocheted his blue shoes. All these things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha to her beloved Mo’opuna Kane (grandson).

Musubi is about 4” tall and Pua’a is about 3.5” fitting in the palm of your hand. They were individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.

Musubi’s 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 giving the doll a unique personality. Pua’a is made out of black faux fur and partially crocheted. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Musubi and Pua’a are not dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto them. Musubi can ride on Pua’a’s back or stand next to 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!

Musubi and Pua’a are one of a kind Hawaiian Art Dolls and come with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. They are collector’s items bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Every bit of Musubi and Pua’a has been lovingly handcrafted to create new friends who will last a lifetime.

Musubi and Pua’a embrace you with the Hau’oli (happiness) of Hawaii.

They are ready to be your new friends and ride into your heart.
