    I love watching videos where they show us a traditional way of doing things wether it’s the black Japanese kimono dye technique or this Hawaiian bark cloth, it’s always relaxing to see how they do it!

    I've planted this tree in front of my yard couple of years ago. I knew you can make paper out of it, but didn't know you can make cloth too.

    Wow, Okinawa also has a ancient tradition of making clothes from banana leaves for the same reasons! It was used to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Not a lot of people know how to make it anymore or wear it but I hope to one day help revive traditional Okinawan culture.

      In the Philippines we still make banana tree cloth (also bark cloth in some places). However we make the cloth out of the stem, not the leaves. The process is like a mixture of the processes for pandanus mat weaving (stripping and dyeing of fibers) and bark cloth making (the way the cloth is beaten at the end). I'm going to try to extract some fibers from the leaves. Here's some videos on the process. Hopefully one day there can be a cultural exchange between our archipelagoes to restore the Okinawan tradition.

    There are many other polynesian countries that still practice the making of tapa/kapa/ngatu/siapo/masi
    1. Tonga
    2. Samoa & america samoa
    3. Fiji
    We do it on a big scale tho, sometimes 20 or more yards are made.

      @Lui TITOA This is important information to me, Thank you so much for that frl
      I want to use this fabric for my local clothing business, No one here on the Big Island sells Kapa cloth, It is a shame in my opinion. Lots of aunties and uncles don’t even teach anyone how to make it anymore. I remember as a kid I got to make some tho

    bark cloth, gourd work, these are just a few of the core implements of many cultures! but what a toll colonization has had on the earth by oppressing our native people. luckily, we are resilient and have such love for our ancestors to honor these higher forms of sustainable craft. the more we each perpetuate our cultureʻs version of these indigenous lifestyle items the better off the environment and our bodies will be! I hope someday there will be celebration and trade of these, for the distinctions from the various places they come from and with respect for the native children who keep these art forms alive ❤

    It sounds like a paper cloth. It interesting the difference between the ainu way of viewing plants and the Hawaiian view, the ainu take off only a portion of the bark whereas the Hawaiian take the whole plant.

    So much small lies! 2:27 That turtle is not resting but dying of exaustion!!! Also Hula is not a mere dance but the dance of worship to the the Hawaiian idols (shark deity etc) with its correspondent prayers(0:57). Besides trying to make worshippers of false deities shes is also trying to promote servitude!("the land is the Chief and the people its servants"). Humanity should protect and defend nature, not be it's servant!
    PS: I appreciate the natural clothing theme but the creeping of lies and oppression must be exposed
