Tapaglyph: Honu

The Honu (Hawaiian sea turtle) is one of the most sacred and beloved symbols in Hawaiian culture, representing good luck, peace, longevity, and spiritual protection. Known as voyagers of the sea, Honu guide with ancestral wisdom and serve as guardians of safe passage, balance, and endurance.

This authentic Tapaglyph artwork is hand-painted on genuine tapa cloth, handmade by our family, carrying forward the traditions of Polynesian artistry. Each piece combines the natural beauty of barkcloth with bold, symbolic designs that reflect the eternal relationship between ocean, land, and life’s journey.

The Honu collection is offered in multiple vibrant color variations — each with its own mana (spiritual power):

• Blue Honu – Connection to the deep ocean, safe passage, calm energy
• White Honu – Purity, peace, and spiritual clarity
• Green Honu – Renewal, healing, and harmony with nature
• Orange Background Honu – Energy, vitality, and strength
• Yellow Honu – Light, joy, and blessings of abundance
• White & Orange Honu (with Black Background) – Balance of light and shadow, protection through life’s dualities
• Red Honu – Mana, courage, and divine protection
• Purple & Teal Honu – Royalty, wisdom, intuition, and legacy

Whether displayed in your home, office, or gifted to a loved one, each Honu carries not only beauty but also the ancestral blessing of peace, strength, and enduring good fortune.
