The Arts of Hawaiian Kapa

Just doing my part to help preserve and perpetuate a part of our culture. If you have questions about what it is, how to get it, how to learn about it or anything else, feel free to ask. Here are a couple of basics about bark cloth:


  • Places that anciently didn’t have woven fabric (like the islands of the Pacific) made most of their clothing out of beaten tree bark fiber.

  • In Hawaii, plants that were generally used included paper mulberry, mamaki and bread fruit. Paper mulberry, Broussonetia papyrifera is originally from China and was part of the earliest waves of ocean voyaging people across the Pacific.

  • This was typically the work of the women and we were proud of it.
