Description
The goddess Hina with an ipu (gourd), her hair being blown forward by the wind. Dark brown ink on white paper. Titled, signed, and dated in pencil below the image.
Hina and Kū were the first gods to reach Hawaiʻi from Kahiki and are seemingly the progenitors of the Hawaiian people. She birthed the island of Molokaʻi with Wākea, and is associated with female energies and kapa making.
