  abstract: "Linda Paik Moriarty's Ni'ihau shell leis, published 1986 was the first book to document this unique and enduring Hawaiian art. Ni'ihau, privately owned and the least populated of the Hawaiian Islands, was traditionally known for fine woven mats and decorated gourds. Lei pūpū, the tradition of fashioning lei of tiny shells from the island's pristine beaches, is its most celebrated and cherished art form, passed from one generation to the next. With all-new photographs by Shuzo Uemoto, Lei Niʻiahu: shell lei of Niʻihau is a significantly expanded update of the 1986 work. It features three generations of lei makers, as well as the history and evolution of the Ni'ihua shell lei from the time of Captain James Cook's third voyage to today. Text and photographs describe how their heritage, their rich enduring culture, and the sweeping landscapes of Ni'ihua provide inspiration for the lei makers."-- Dust cover page 2.
