The Koa Award 2007
Reiko Brandon
For lifetime achievement in the visual arts
Kapiolani Community College
“Reiko’s art is fragile—like life is. Fiber arts is a medium that is the stuff of life itself—paper and fibers from plants, twines from grass, perhaps interlaced with the dyes of precious plants like indigo, and sometimes with metals and minerals such as gold. Fiber is universal, useful, beautiful… Reiko’s art, is as strong as life, even as we, like her, are also fragile and eventually perish and disappear. Such is the grace of life. Her art is gesture, a Buddhist mudra, and has the stuff of life that folk Shinto worships. It is both death and life. We all live only for the moment, yet the effects of our lives survives somehow in the eternity of time. Let’s savour this precious moment tonight with Reiko as our guide…and celebrate the fragile art of Reiko Mochinaga Brandon."

At TEMARI, we truly appreciate how people like you support us because you believe in our organization. We’re lucky to have members who don’t mind if they never receive a membership card, or if they just receive a newsletter and invites to Members Only events in exchange for their membership.
Although we can’t afford to provide the usual bells and whistles that might come with some fancier membership organizations, we’d like to offer you a token of our gratitude for keeping alive our 28-year-old school. This year, when you renew your membership at TEMARI’s Trash & Treasure on November 4th at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii, we’re delighted to offer you a small gift.
All new or renewing members can select either a red furoshiki (perfect for wrapping holiday gifts) or a blue TEMARI tote bag (for lugging all your purchases from T&T shopping). Please stop by the TEMARI membership/information desk on the 5th floor Lanai between 8:00 am to 2:00 pm to pick up your special gift while supplies last.
The gift is available to all membership levels, from the basic $25 membership and beyond. You’ll also receive your usual membership perks: uncrowded shopping and coffee at all Clean Sweep and Trash & Treasure fairs, and advance purchasing rights before the public for every Kadomatsu fundraiser. And, this time, we promise to give you your membership card on the spot!
Thank you again for continuing to support TEMARI. Because of you and your generosity, we’ve been able to perpetuate Asian and Pacific arts through classes, festivals, exhibitions and support of our local artists. Our mission would not be realized without members like you.
