30th FUNDRAISER FAIR
Sunday, November 6, 2011
Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii,
Manoa Grand Ballroom, 5th Floor
8:00 - 9:00 am Open Only to TEMARI & JCCH Members, including the Trash and High Class Trash Boutique (Membership Card is not required. We’ll have a list at the door.)
9:00 am - 2:00 pm Open to General Public
30 years ago TEMARI’s faculty cleared their studios to sell seconds and supplies in the patio and on the driveway of our former 10th Ave site. Faculty and students bought from each other; simply moving the items to new homes. “One person’s trash is another’s treasure.”
Gradually new works were added. Supporters “cleaned house” to supply the Trash Tent outside of a bigger site, the McKinley High School cafeteria. Since we moved Trash & Treasure (T&T) into air-conditioned comfort, Wilma Thompson and Clare Ho have sorted the Trash donations, repaired jewelry, and managed a loyal crew. Sybil Nosaka and Carol Dee Nishimura run the High Class Trash boutique where you’ll find more donated collectibles, gently-used or brand-new items.
T&T artists are selected “By Invitation Only”. Most of our veteran artists have participated in every T&T. For 30 years they consistently have created new pieces. Their passionate commitment is the reason that T&T is “the best fair in town.” Lucky Gifts, donated by T&T artists, will be given to lucky shoppers throughout the day. T&T is a TEMARI classic. Vendor fees and sales from the Trash and High Class Trash areas sustain TEMARI’s programs. When you sell and shop at T&T, you support the Center’s mission to provide opportunities for all ages to learn traditional and not-so-traditional Asian and Pacific art forms.
Now we also invite other non-profit organizations to be our guests in the patio area outside of the Ballroom. This year Bamboo Ridge Press, Hawaii Potters Guild, Hui O Laulima and the Pacific Asian and Affairs Council (PAAC) will offer unusual holiday gifts. The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii’s Gift Shop on the street level also will be open. Spend $10 in the Gift Shop, support the Center and enjoy free parking.

Kadomatsu
Demonstration
Ward Warehouse Amphitheatre
December 27, 2011 Tuesday
11:00am - 2:00 pm
Free
Kuhio Lions Club will prepare for the 2012 Year of the Dragon with demonstrations of making the traditional bamboo and pine arrangements, Kadomatsu. Together with the late Bud Morrison, TEMARI taught many classes on Kadomatsu essentials--Place bamboo and pine at your door for the New Year spirit to abide while it protects you for an auspicious New Year. With hundreds of volunteers, we produced more than 15,000 Kadomatsu from 18” to 5’ for 24 years. TEMARI is relieved and pleased that the Kuhio Lions Club is committed to keeping alive the Kadomatsu tradition.
For more information, please call 593-0110. |

Moana McPherson Eisele is fiercely committed to kapa. TEMARI was very fortunate in 1982 when she generously shared her experiences of making Hawaiian bark cloth–growing wauke, carving tools, fermenting bark, and printing with incised bamboo. For three years she and 12 others traveled together to study the kapa making process on all islands under a special TEMARI project and continued to demonstrate with the Prince Kuhio Hawaiian Civic Club.
Since 1985 she has led Na Hoa Hoala Kapa, The Friends of the Reawakening of Kapa, represented Hawaii at several South Pacific Arts Festivals, taught internationally, demonstrated at the Peabody Museum and maintained a thriving garden of plants for dyeing.
Moana was recently honored by Hawaii Maoli, the non-profit affiliate of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, at Ka Mana o ke Kanaka, “The Spirit of the Hawaiian”. Instead of the usual plaque, an oli, chant, was presented to her by its composer, Kaumaka‘iwa Kanaka‘ole.
The Hawaii Maoli award evening was different. No one snuck out early. We were spellbound. Moana’s humble thank you was elegant in its brevity. She exemplifies Aunty Edith McKinzie’s words from a 1984 lecture in Waimea, Kauai during the TEMARI project. “In the Hawaiian culture, self is not important.”
‘O LAUHUKI, ‘O LA’AHANA
Lauhuki and La’ahana
‘O Lauhuki wahine o ke ki’oki ‘oni’o
Ni’o ni’au ‘ohe ki lau, lau kinohinohi
‘O La’ahana kuahine kua lua, kua kolu a holo
E na wahine....
Lauhuki, woman of the cloth
marked with stripes and strokes
A carved bamboo wand of mastery,
patterned intricately
La’ahana, maternal figure of generations
upon generations
All matriarchs....
Verse from the oli by Kaumaka’iwa Kanaka’ole |

Kinu & Kapa
A Collaboration of Asian & Pacific Fiber Arts
Akihiko Izukura & Moana Eisele
January 29-31, 2012
9:00 am–2:00 pm
Harold L. Lyon Arboretum
Workshop Fee: $150
Supply Fee: TBD
Kinu, Japanese for silk, is the longest fiber; unreeled from the cocoons of moths nurtured on a diet of mulberry tree leaves. Kapa, bark cloth, reached its zenith in Hawaii where incised beaters watermarked and felted together strips of mulberry’s inner bark and bamboo printers captured the energy of negative spaces of printed patterns in dyes from ash, tubers, flowers, coral and earth.
Akihiko Izukura, Visiting Artist from Kyoto, will teach, demonstrate, create and exhibit during his two-month residence in Honolulu. (See below for links to the entire calendar of activities.) He focuses on capturing the fugitive colors yielded from plant dyes on all fibers. When Izukura met with kapa practitioner Moana Eisele in June 2011, he reveled in the tactile quality of the rough first stages of wauke, Brousennetia papyrifera, or paper mulberry. It was a remarkable experience; observing the interaction between two artists, who could not speak each other’s languages, but shared an intense passion for fibers and plant dyes.
This workshop will be a sharing of fibers and techniques; aiming to form structural shapes from the combination of kinu and kapa. Izukura will focus on natural dyeing methods and working with silks that he uses in his Kyoto atelier. Moana will emphasize watermarking of the combined fibers and surface design patterning with carved bamboo printers, ohe kapala.
Participants will be challenged to create two and three dimensional forms from the kinu and kapa. Kapa makers should bring their own tools. Weavers and basket makers should bring reeds, yarns, and fabrics. Papermakers should bring washi or Western handmade papers. There will be access to the vast botanical resources of the Lyon Arboretum. Please note that works created during the workshop will be displayed in the Arboretum,
February 11 – 25.
The Kinu and Kapa workshop is organized for experienced artists who enjoy collaborations. Although a translator will be present, artists who thrive in this type of workshop instinctively know that communication through hands-on activities is universally clear and enjoyable, and that sharing techniques increases one’s own creative potential.
The Workshop and Supply fees include silks from Izukura’s Kyoto atelier, some plant dyes, refreshments and lunches. A more detailed supply list will be sent to participants.
Please send a check for $150 to reserve your spot in “Kinu & Kapa Workshop”. Limited enrollment.
Please explore the following links;

Kinu & Kapa is organized by TEMARI, Center for Asian and Pacific Arts, in partnership with the Harold L. Lyon Arboretum and the Center for Japanese Studies, University of Hawaii.

Mingei Tour III
May, 2012
Merle Grybowski, Tour Leader
This past May’s Mingei Tour was canceled due to the Tsunami Disaster. The 2012 Tour will still focus on Kyoto. This is a tour for people who enjoy unpacking just once and “discovering” off-the-beaten track places. Merle has lead study tours for teachers for 15 years and Mingei Tours I and II. We limit the number of participants to ensure access to private studios.
If you are interested in the Tour, please leave your name and contact information at 536-4566 or temari@temaricenter.com.

Please contact artsight888@gmail.com to review the donation and to place your fine art and antiques on the market. Artsight is operated by museum and fine art consultant, Lisa Yoshihara. |
