Kapa Hawaii, LLC, is a small business promoting the art of Hawaiian Kapa, a type of textile made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree. This kapa was used as clothing and blankets, taxes, temple dressings and other items that we use fabric for now. Not technically a cloth, but a paper, it was time consuming work and about a hundred years ago, the art was abandoned in Hawaii due to a number of factors including loss of lands, introduction of foreign cloth and changes and upheavals in the native culture.
