Junko’s halau, Hālau Nāpualikolokelani, danced two dances before the competition started. It was a “practice” for their upcoming competition in Ho’onanea Hula Competition and KuMaiKa Hula in 2017.

The judges from left: Kehaulani Kekua from Kauaʻi, Chinky Mahoe from O’ahu, Hōkūlani Holt from Maui. Hōkūlani Holt also served as Executive Director for this competition.

The competition was held at the Komazawa Olympic Gymnasium in Setagaya, Tokyo.

Anekona, looking makai — where organically grown ag takes place.

Made a labor-for-huli trade with Jonah and his mom. I worked for half a day at their farm in Haiku and got about 50 huli in return. I planted these the next day at Anekona and should be getting taro in a year.

Kalaupapa was the leper colony on Molokai established in the 1870s. The Kalaupapa Post Office had this shirt a couple of years ago. Cathy, Jonah’s mom, wears this one. She is a tireless farmer!

Planted out most of the lower and upper mala with taro.

And this Wireless Pineapple comes with bluetooth so you can listen to music, blog, post to Instagram, twitter, and FB. Voice recognition make a keyboard obsolete. But wait there’s more! A 4K video camera that takes 24 mb stills as you film makes this the perfect vacation accessory. Until the fruit is eaten or rots, of course.

The Anekona Kale is more tender than any other kale you have eaten. Usually kale requires some bruising or massaging to break it down.

Picked and dried a gallon-sized ziplock bag of coffee. It’s surprising how different it is than “store-bought.”

This is the lower mala at Anekona before it got cleaned up.

This is Brandy’s place. Bobby Pahia “leases” it and is contemplating planting an organic ground cover. He has been a traditional farmer using fertilizers and herbicides. His kalo is huge…
