I te Raki ki te Tonga

This kete whakairo has been created using fresh harakeke (flax) harvested from Koutu on the shores of Lake Rotorua in the North Island, and boiled harakeke from Waiharakeke (Blenheim) in the South Island. The name means from the North to the South, as this kete blends the two islands into one. The whakairo pattern used is taki rua. I te Raki ki te Tonga can be viewed in ahu boutique, Rotorua.
