How to Weave Authentic Hawaiian Lauhala Bracelets: A Step-by-Step Guide (Traditional Hawaiian Crafts)

ラウハラ編みは、なかなか本も無いのでこちらで買えて良かったです。著者の作品は、少し雑な感じで...繊細で美しくはないですが、教本としてはまあまあ使えそうです。本は紙質も良く見やすいです。製図についても参考になりました。

写真による具体的な作り方が載っており、英語があまり得意ではありませんが理解することが出来ます。

Well done! I really learned how to weave(plait) a bracelet! The book design,format is very good..fully deserves five stars!!.After thinking about my review and looking at other reviews, i thought i would add a little more info. I recommend, in addition to Mr Widesses excellent book, a little known pamphlet type book locally published in Hawaii, currently listed as"out of print unavailable" The books long title is"Kupuna Maunakeas Lauhala Preparation and Simple Weaving"(1994) written by an expert Hawaiian weaver.This is not listed in the bibliography. I suggest a new inexperience weaver request a copy from the Hawaii State LIbrary. The main branch has several copies for loan, #746.41. There are several simple projects for the beginner,and has a very friendly style.This book would supplemen(not replace!) Mr. Widesses book. Later update on bibliography: The Univ of Hawaii just published an informative,somewhat scholarly review of the art of Lauhala: Ike Ulana Lau Hala (by O'Neil,Keawe etc) #746.42099 in library..This is a Hawaiian studies approach to Lauhala. History and culture, but no instructions.

I'm from Hawaii and learned there but this book is better than any book I have from Hawaii. Fills in the info that other books leave out. Even tells you how to make a simple lauhala cutter. Has everything you might need to make a Hawaiian bracelet or headband and shows you clearly, step-by-step in great photos how to do almost any pattern. Even how to write names on the bracelet.
