Within each golden bamboo frame on this Aloha Kanaka shirt is a scene from ancient Hawai‘i: kalo (taro) from a lo‘i, a fragrant lei, anthuriums and hibiscus flowers, pineapples and coconut trees, a surfer and a fisherman, an ‘ukulele, a bounty of bananas. These snapshots convey the simplistic beauty of everyday life in the Islands.
