Fiji Art

Fiji Art is the complete presentation of the Fiji Culture to the visitors or the tourist either in a form of smart souvenir or often in the shape of beautifully crafted wooden handicrafts. Art and Craft of Fiji is various and really some good pieces are crafted out and are used locally or as presentations in the Fijian ceremonies. The Fiji Art is generally a craft ware of either wood or it is in the weave form as mostly the Pacific Island Art favors either any one of the two or simply a balance between the two products. The weaving material of Fiji Art is done from two sources namely Pandanus and Coconut. The process of weaving is quite lengthy and hectic and it usually takes number of days before the materials are ready to be weaved.

Weaving is an important part of Fiji Art and beautiful variety of mats, everyday baskets, hats etc. are the outcome from these Pandanus and Coconuts. The weaving process also expands to the making of white hats and bags. Another significant souvenir of Fiji Art is "The Tapa Cloth material" and its origin is from the mulberry leaves. The Mulberry leaves are subjected to various processing's before they take the form of fine traditional clothing of the Fijians. The popularity of the material is expanding and it has also taken the form of fine wall pictures along with wrappings and other dressing ensemble.
