Little Nunu, the Fisher Boy, is named after the Hawaiian trumpetfish.

Carrying his fishing pole to the gentle waters in the bays of Punalu’u Black Sands Beach, Nunu gets ready to catch dinner for his Menehune Ohana (family) and himself. First he says a prayer of heartfelt thanks for nature’s abundant offerings. He then humbly asks permission for just enough fish to come to his fishing pole so that he can feed himself and his Ohana.

Nunu has a balanced, harmonious relationship with nature. He knows that if he takes only what he needs, it will always be given freely.

Nunu is the most generous little Menehune. Nothing makes him happier than sharing the fish he caught with his Menehune Ohana, so that everybody can have an abundant, delicious dinner. Seeing their joy and appreciation is the greatest gift to him.

Nunu’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed his blue Malu (wraparound) and matching hat with a butterfly fish design. She crocheted yellow underwear and little shoes. Last Tutu crafted a conch shell lei for Nunu. In Hawaii the Pu (Conch Shell) is believed to invoke blessings of divine Mana and provide protection from all harm.

Nunu's Kuku (grandfather) crafted and blessed his fishing pole which always catches just enough fish for the Ohana’s dinner.

All these things were Kuku's and Tutu’s sacred gifts of Aloha (Love) to their beloved Mo’opuna Kane (grandson).

Nunu is a 4” tall cloth doll fitting in the palm of your hand. He was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.

The body is made out of doll skin, stuffed with high quality poly fill and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face giving the doll a unique personality. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Nunu is not dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto him.

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!

Nunu is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. He is a display doll and collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Every bit of Nunu has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
