RELATED INFORMATION
In contemporary Hawaiian society, the term “kupe’e” is associated with a lei worn around the wrist or ankle. The haku style simply refers to the method of making a lei with a base material, such as a ti leaf, or tree bark, and braiding it while adding flowers, leaves, or ferns. This is a traditional Hawaiian style of lei making that was common in old Hawaii. In traditional Hawaiian dance, the kupe’e is made with plants and materials that represents the deities honored in dance. The kupe’e is placed on the wrist or the ankle to draw attention to the delicate movements of the hands and feet. Often in traditional Hawaiian dance, the kupe’e will make sound to enhance the performance as well.
