EDITORS COMMENTS
Morai: A Sacred and Ancient Burial Ground in Kauai, Hawaii (Atooi) This evocative hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Bernieri after John Webber's original work, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of the Hawaiian Islands. The image depicts the Morai, or sacred cemetery, located on the island of Kauai, specifically in the region of Atooi. The Morai was an essential part of ancient Hawaiian life, serving as a place of burial and communication with the spirits of the deceased. The central feature of this engraving is the Marai, or oracle tower, which was believed to be a connection between the living and the dead. The tower was used for various rituals and offerings to the ancestors. The Marai was also a place where the kahuna, or spiritual leaders, would perform divination and seek guidance from the spirits. Surrounding the Marai are numerous graves, each marked by simple stone structures. The graves were often adorned with flowers and other offerings to honor the deceased. The Hawaiian people believed that the spirits of the dead continued to watch over their living relatives and played an active role in their lives. This engraving, published in Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," provides a unique and valuable record of the Morai and its significance in ancient Hawaiian culture. The intricate details of the engraving, from the Marai tower to the individual graves, offer a glimpse into a time long past, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Hawaii today.
