A CELEBRATION OF THE SCIENCE AND ART OF MAORI WEAVING, FOCUSED ON
THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF MAORI CLOAKS IN THE WORLD Weaving is more
than just a product of manual skills. From the simple rourou (food
basket) to the prestigious kahukiwi (kiwi feather cloak), weaving
is endowed with the very essence of the spiritual values of Maori
people. This award-winning book opens the storeroom doors of the Te
Papa Tongarewa Maori collections, illuminating the magnificent
kakahu in those collections and the art and tradition of weaving
itself. More than fifty rare and precious kakahu are featured
within this book, with glossy colour detail illustrations of each,
plus historical and contextual images and graphic diagrams of
weaving techniques. These are accompanied by engaging descriptions
bringing together information on every cloak - its age, materials,
and weaving technique with quotes from master weavers and other
experts, stories of the cloaks, details of their often remarkable
provenance, discussion of how the craft is being revived and issues
to do with cloaks held in international museums. A full glossary,
illustrated guide to cloak types, and index are included.
Contemporary cloaks made with novel materials also feature.
