Maui No Ka Oi!


Aloha! Hope all of you have had a nice weekend!
I was in Maui last week, so I wanted to share some of the photos I took while on my trip there. Our Sig Zane Designs Maui store is in Wailuku, and it's a gateway town to the very
famous Iao Needle, which you can see here. There was a misty rain when I got there, and I was allowed a peek of the Needle. It's a beautiful place, with lots of history so do check it out if you haven't already, because it's only about 10 minutes drive away from our store!

Aloha!先週はマウイ島のシグ・ゼーン・ワイルク店へ行っておりました。そこでお店からも10分くらいで行ける有名な観光スポットを御紹介いたします。イアオ渓谷という場所がありますが、ハワイの歴史においても重要な意味を持つこの場所。このとんがった岩が有名なイアオ・ニードルと呼ばれる岩です。丁度霧雨が降っており、ニードルの部分を見ることができました。


I had to take this photo of Maui grabbing the sun, as this sculpture captures one of the great deeds that Maui had done, which was that he extended the day! This story is also mentioned in Sig's book Kumukahi too.

この銅像はマウイ空港の中庭にあるのですが、マウイの神話に出てくるお話の一つにある「太陽を捕まえて一日を永くした」という伝説の一部分を表しています。シグの本、「クムカヒ」にもこのお話が出てきますので是非読んでみてくださいね。


Meeting people is one of the things that makes it fun to go to places. I got a chance to meet Sunny and Yuki Kamiya, who operates an excellent Japanese site for Maui visitors. Sunny's knowledge of Maui is so extensive that he is famously known in Japan as "Sunny the Maui Expert"! His unique career extends to years of working as a rescue squad member in Japan, as well as in NYC! Mahalo Sunny and Yuki for looking so good in our clothes!
Mahalo,
Reiko

そして「マウイの達人」として有名なサニーさんと奥様のゆきさんにお会いしてきました!お二人ともとっても気さくで本当に楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。シグのシャツが余りにもお似合いなので記念に一枚!これからも宜しくお願いいたします!
Mahalo,
玲子
