Take your moko, as a friend forever . . . In the traditional Mori world the moko, or facial or body tattoo, was part of everyday life; everyone had some patterning on their skin.

Award-winning and best-sellling, Mau Moko is the closest there has ever been to a 'complete' book on moko.

Taia o moko, hei hoa matenga mou . . . 
Take your moko, as a friend forever . . .

In the traditional Māori world the moko, or facial or body tattoo, was part of everyday life; everyone had some patterning on their skin. Men wore elaborate designs on their faces; women's were usually less complex but elegant, and both sexes had extensive body work.

After almost dying out in the twentieth century, Māori skin art is now experiencing a powerful revival, with many young urban Māori displaying the moko as a spectacular gesture of ethnic pride and identity.

This hugely popular and magnificently illustrated book, compiled by a group of Māori scholars from the University of Waikato, is the closest there has ever been to a 'complete' book on moko. Mau Moko examines the use of moko by traditional Māori, notes historical material including manuscripts and unpublished, aural sources, and links the art to the present day. It explores the cultural and spiritual issues surrounding moko and relates dozens of stories, many of them powerful and heart-warming, from wearers and artists.

Mau Moko is superbly enhanced by images from early European encounters, traditional Māori representations, and new colour photography commissioned for the book by Becky Nunes.

Tirohia, he moko!
Look, and wonder, at the beauty of this art form . . .

Nice quality sweater, well made and soft.
Size: Large, Color: Pure Beige
I love this sweater - but I bought it just in time for summer, so it won't get much use until fall! It fits great, it is really soft and the overall quality is quite good. I plan to buy another one in another color as well.

Nice casual looking sweater
Size: Small, Color: Pure Black
I purchased the black/cream inset sweater in a small. I usually wear a small. I fits loose, but NOT baggy. I like the loose fit. The sweater feels so soft. Nice looking sweater. Very happy with the sweater, but could have ordered a medium for a boxier fit.

Good quality & trendy color sweater
Size: Large, Color: Pure Apricot
This sweater is very soft, light and very suitable for keeping mild warm at the temperature of 20c or inside an air conditioning room. Particularly, the trendy color for 2026 in brown suede jacket, this sweater is real good matching item! I like it! 😍😍😍
