Full of mischief and excitement, Pono happily skips through the enchanting Ohia forest. Lots of treasures, like rocks, nuts and fruits, are everywhere. Pono picks up everything that looks special to him and carefully puts it in the pouch Tutu (grandma) crocheted for him. Tutu Lulu is right by his side picking her favorite Lehua flowers.

In Hawaii the Menehunes are often called "The Little People of the Secret Power" and referred to as the legendary, original inhabitants of the islands. Menehunes are mystical, shy little creatures who hide in secret places of the forest during the day, and perform their magic at night under the glow of the moon.

Many People in Hawaii have actually seen Menehunes.

Pono loves playing, dancing, singing, swimming, and, most of all, eating. If you hanai (adopt) him, love him, and take care of him, he will love you in return with unconditional Aloha, guide, protect, and inspire you on your life's journey.

Tutu Lulu sewed his lavalava (wraparound) and Kihei (shawl) out of Tapa cloth. She also crocheted his Menehune hat and crafted his sacred Maile and Kukuit Nut lei. Kukui represents inner light, hope and renewal, spirit revealing itself. Maile is the lei of eternal love. All these things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha to her beloved Mo’opuna Kane (grandson).

Pono is about 7” tall and was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.

His 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 giving the doll a unique personality. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Pono is not a dress up doll. 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!

Pono is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Dolls and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. He is a collector’s items bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

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