Introducing a new Hawaiian fish hook. In the old days, it was made by hand, one by one, using animal bones, pearl shells, and koa (a tree native to Hawaii) as a motif of the fish hooks used by the native Hawaiian men when fishing at sea. In the case of shells, only the central part is used, so only one can be made from one shell. For ancient Hawaiians, whose main source of protein was fish, the fish hook made of wood, shells, and human bones was very important in telling the culture of the Narawaya (fisherman). According to legend, a special hook imbued with spiritual power "Mana" brought a great catch to the fisherman, and was carefully handled both when fishing and when storing it. It was passed down from father to son when the son got married or became independent. The son who wore it was always able to catch fish for himself and his family.
