High up in the Kaiholena Mountains the delightful sound of Momi’s Ukulele echoes the wisdom of the ancestors.

Her dear sister Kupuna Malu gracefully dances the Hula to the enchanting music of Momi’s Ukulele. The graceful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.

Together, Kupuna Momi and Kupuna Malu honor the Akuas (divine spirits) of the forest.

Momi is a Kupuna, one of the older people honored with Aloha as grandparents and ancestors by all. Kupunas are the source of experience, knowledge, guidance, strength and inspiration to the next generations.

They are a blessing being the ones we came from, who have lived before us and who we live for today.

Momi wears a red Muumuu with a Bird of Paradise flower.

Her white and gray streaked hair bun is adorned with a Plumeria flower, fern and leaf hairpiece.

Momi wears a Kukui nut, Leho (cowrie) shell and Maile leaf lei around her neck. Maile is the lei of eternal love. Kukui represents inner light and spirit revealing itself. Leho shells invoke the protection of the spirits in connection with the strength and the power of the ocean.

Momi is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Momi 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 toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!

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

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