Birth Date: 'Apelila 24, 2023 (04/24/23)

O ka 'onohi ula o ka lani ko inoa
The rainbow of heaven is your name

The gentle drum of the Ipu (gourd) echoes through the Ohia Forest as a beautiful rainbow slowly approaches the Menehune village. Full of excitement, the Menehunes run to the gathering place. Anuenue is coming! She is their bringer of good luck and prosperity.

Anuenue chants softly to the sound of her Ipu worshipping the enchanting Ohia Forest.

Anuenue is named after the Hawaiian Rainbow Goddess. Anuenue is so lovely that a rainbow follows her wherever she goes. One of the most beautiful rainbows just couldn't let go and imbued itself onto her dress.

Anuenue's head is adorned with a rainbow and surrounded by a halo of fragrant Maile. Maile is the lei of eternal love.

Anuenue’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed her sky-blue cotton dress and drew a beautiful rainbow on it.

Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful of the Ipus. She cleaned and polished it. The Ipu was her sacred gift of Aloha (Love) to her Mo’opuna (granddaughter) and became Anuenue’s most treasured possession.

Anuenue is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of doll skin and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Anuenue has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Anuenue is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!

Anuenue is an original design and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity.

Anuenue is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. She is a display doll and collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii. Every bit of Anuenue has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
