EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scene from Fiji in the early 20th century. Titled "Making Yaqona, 'Kava'" the image showcases the traditional process of preparing this popular Fijian drink. The focal point of the photo is a beautifully carved wooden bowl, crafted from a single block of hard wood. It stands as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Fijian artisans. In the foreground, we see a kneeling man holding a bamboo water bottle, which he will use to pour water into the bowl during the preparation process. His posture reflects both reverence and concentration as he carries out his task with utmost care. The image provides insight into an important cultural practice in Fiji at that time. Yaqona, also known as Kava, holds significant social and ceremonial value for Fijians. It is often consumed during gatherings or rituals to promote relaxation and camaraderie among participants. This particular photograph was featured in "The Colony of Fiji" publication by S Bach in 1924, highlighting British colonial influence on this Pacific island nation during that era. The copyright for this image is credited to the Government of Fiji. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both historical traditions and artistic craftsmanship within Fijian culture.
