THE KAHALA10

Edi tor ’s Note

“Hawai‘i is not a state of mind, but a state of grace,” says author Paul Theroux. Those who, like Theroux, are lucky enough to call Hawai‘i home live in a land blessed with incredible natural beauty, a rich and vibrant culture and a people of unsurpassed warmth. Hawaiians whose ties to the Islands go back hundreds of years find comfort and meaning in their traditions; while those who have made Hawai‘i their adopted home embrace all that the state has to offer, adding their own sensibilities to the mix. Even visi-tors who remain for only a short time quickly adapt to the Island way of life.

In this issue of Kahala magazine we explore these dual themes of adaptation and inspiration, beginning with writer Mari Taketa’s profile of Hoku’s Chef de Cuisine Hiroshi Inoue. Chef Inoue—who grew up in the culinary mecca of Osaka, Japan, and has worked in renowned restaurants there as well as in Tokyo and Atlanta—arrived at The Kahala Hotel & Resorts in the spring of 2014 and immediately began exploring the produce and dishes of his new Island home, adapting local favorites into haute versions that are served at the hotel. He is also a fan of Hawaiian vegetables and is intent on sourcing the best, getting to know the producers and learning from them.

Incorporating the traditions and symbols of his native culture, Hawaiian artist Carl F.K. Pao blends a contempo-rary aesthetic with primal symbolism. As writer Thelma Chang tells us, Pao had at one time thought of becoming an architect but, inspired by the art and spirituality of indigenous cultures, found his true calling as an artist. Today he is one of the most respected figures in the world of Hawaiian art and mentor to a new generation of artists.

Nowhere is adaptation more evident than in the plant world. In Hawai‘i, many endemic plants were unable to adapt to the changing landscape as new species were introduced from outside the Islands. The Harold L. Lyon Arboretum on O‘ahu, the subject of our photo essay by Zach Pezzillo, is working to preserve and

restore Hawai‘i’s tropical forests. The arboretum itself contains more than 5,000 tropical plant species displayed in themed gardens, a wonderful place to visit for the botanist or those who simply want to be inspired by nature’s beauty.

The lilikoi plant was introduced to the Islands in the late 19th century, and while it didn’t prove to be a viable agricultural crop, Hawaiians fell in love with its flavor. Writer Mari Taketa shows us the many ways this puckery tart and sweet fruit has been adapted into dishes both sweet and savory.

Finally, writer Powell Berger describes her up-close and personal encounter with Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins in her story on the Kahala’s dolphin lagoon. Dolphin Quest provides this unique, interactive experience to guests or visitors to educate them about the importance of protecting the ocean and the creatures that live in it. A portion of the proceeds support wild dolphin conservation.

We wish you a pleasant stay and hope you are inspired to return to Hawai‘i soon.

HEN HE WAS 6, Hiroshi Inoue wrote that he wanted to travel the

world. When he was 9, his parents took him to a Chinese restaurant at a posh hotel. For a young boy growing up in Japan’s culinary mecca of Osaka, the meal was an epiphany: He knew then he would become a chef. “We used to eat at different restaurants every week, but here, for the first time, I experienced

hospitality,” he says. “It was everything all together—the servers’ intelligence, quickness and warmth, and the delicious food. I realized that happiness can result.”

Thirty years later Inoue is well on his way to making good on his promise. He arrived at The Kahala Hotel & Resort in the spring of 2014, the newly appointed chef de cuisine of Hoku’s, the hotel’s fine-dining icon. Twenty years in

Chef Hiroshi Inoue creates culinary masterpieces that blend traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. His creations evolve with the seasons and reflect his interest in Hawaiian produce and local dishes.

haute cuisine have seen him rise through the kitchens of Michelin three-starred L’Osier in Tokyo, five-diamond Joel Brasserie in Atlanta and posh Ritz-Carlton kitchens in Osaka and Atlanta. At Resorttrust, the 44-property luxury group that acquired The Kahala, Inoue has won top bragging rights at the chainwide culi-nary competition five years in a row.

This is the perspective he brings to Hoku’s: impeccable cuisine blending traditional tech-niques with modern sensibilities, delivered to world-class standards. His cooking style is not French, not Italian, not Japanese, he says, but something else that’s continuously evolving. He stepped into Hoku’s and, between its land-mark status and the bounty of Hawai‘i’s land and sea, saw endless possibilities. Inoue’s menu is a contemporary showcase of the delicate and the comforting: a hamachi poke shot with truffle oil and ponzu, served in a wine glass; succulent breast of grilled guinea hen, juicy from a sous-vide bath at 168 degrees; grilled

bison rib-eye with roasted eggplant and a hint of rosemary; kurobuta pork and mushroom risotto; poached Maine lobster with an autumn nut vinaigrette.

And that’s just his first menu. Dishes will evolve with the seasons as the chef explores the Islands. “I’m impressed by Hawai‘i’s veg-etables,” he says. “I want to take my time and source the best of everything. As much as pos-sible, I want to get to know producers and learn things from them.”

He’s learning about favorite local dishes, some of which appear in haute versions at The Kahala. Like the loco moco at Plumeria Beach House. And the ahi poke musubi at Hoku’s. At a spot in town he tasted saimin, the humble plantation-era noodle soup unique to the Islands. Another time he experienced Spam musubi at 7-Eleven, whose local stores are renowned for their multiple versions of the snack of fried canned meat atop a hearty cube of white rice. He liked it. Haute sensibili-ties aside, Inoue’s childhood in Osaka gave him plenty of chances to snack on the city’s legendary takoyaki (grilled dumplings with fresh octopus), kushikatsu (panko-fried skewers of meat, vegetables and cheese) and endless bowls of ramen. Ask him about his favorite home-cooked meal, and he answers with his mother’s nikujaga, a country-style dish of thinly sliced beef and onions in a light simmer of soy, dashi and mirin.

Will any of these appear in some form at Hoku’s? That’s still an open question: Inoue says he’s just getting started. “My goal is to get us onto San Pellegrino’s world’s 50 best restaurants,” he says—a ranking currently dominated by Copenhagen’s Noma. “From the time you enter the restaurant until you leave, I want you to have a world-class experience in food, service, atmosphere. For Hoku’s, there is no limit.” ❀

apparently yummy) squid to feed Kolohe, the Atlantic Bottlenose dolphin i’ve just kissed. “He’ll catch it, i promise.” And catch it he does, even though my toss is more like a curveball that sends Kolohe bobbing sideways for his treat. His eyes meet mine as he gulps it down, and i swear he smiles, seemingly as

fascinated by me as i am by him. He nuzzles a bit closer so i can rub his strong, smooth back.

Dolphin Quest operates in three loca-tions around the world: here at The Kahala Hotel & Resort, on Hawai‘i’s Big Island and in Bermuda. Dolphin Quest provides unique interactive experiences with dolphins and other marine life that educate and inspire guests to help protect our oceans and the ani-mals who live there. This conservation organi-zation is owned and operated by two respected marine mammal veterinarians, and a portion of the proceeds from the Dolphin Quest expe-rience supports wild dolphin conservation.

Guests see the sessions between train-ers, dolphins and visitors, but much more goes on behind the scenes. Dolphin Quest is a key supporter of the Pacific Marine Life Foundation, and has donated over $3 million to marine research and conservation glob-ally. In Hawai‘i, Dolphin Quest supports the Cascadia Research Collective in its ongoing studies of a variety of whale species to assess critical habitat, boundaries and diving habits.

A year later, the staff received a let-ter from the boy’s mother. He had just died, and she wanted them to know that that one day had been his very favorite in his short life. “Sometimes, when I’m having a challenging day,” Sook Russell of Dolphin Quest says, “I bust open the Make-a-Wish photo album, and …” Her voice trails off for a moment. “I get to do this every day,” she says, wiping away tears.

STORY BY THELMA CHANGPHOTOGRAPHY BY DANA EDMUNDS

Artist Carl F.K. Pao draws on ancient Hawaiian traditions, giving old symbols new powerINSPIRED BY THE PAST


26

The ability to blend a contemporary aesthetic with primal symbolism to create timeless works has made Carl F.K. Pao one of the most influential and respected aritsts in the world of Hawaiian art today.

It is one of the most striking artworks in the Bishop Museum: 16 pan-els in eye-catching colors, a juxtaposition of dark and light depicting humans, flora and fauna, land and sea. “Kumulipo” illustrates the ancient Hawaiian chant of creation that has been passed down orally through the ages. The work is the visual expression of a 21st-century artist who reaches far back into family roots and early Hawaiian traditions for his inspiration, while looking to the future of native Hawaiian art.

This ability to blend a contemporary aesthetic with primal symbolism to create timeless works has made Carl F.K. Pao one of the most influential and respected artists in the world of Hawaiian art today. His pieces are displayed in museums, sold in galleries

and featured in exhibits and private collections throughout the Islands, on the mainland and overseas.

“There is amazing strength in ‘Kumulipo,’ a boldness and great level of inter-pretation, a holistic view,” says Ryan Sueoka, former events coordinator at Bishop Museum, a statement that could apply to Pao’s work as a whole and to his appeal as an artist.

Pao was born and raised in Kailua in a home where creativity was encouraged. His mother was a painter, his father built cabinets and his uncle was a woodworker. During his youth, he enjoyed basketball, body boarding and fishing trips with his father. After graduation from high school, Pao applied to the School of Architecture at the University of Hawai‘i. The timing, however, did not serve him well.

“Just before I graduated from Kamehameha, I had missed a computer design course,” recalls Pao. “My interview at the university’s architecture school was bru-tal, crushing. I had drawn everything by hand. They basically said, ‘This kind of work was done in the ’60s.’ And that was that.”

Unsure what to do, Pao turned for support to his friend Herman Pi‘ikea Clark, a well-respected Hawai‘i historian and educator. Pao recalls Clark telling him, “Why go to big-name schools on the mainland? Find something more true to your roots.” It was a pivotal moment for the artist who had, in fact, questioned himself about

emulating Western art—he had long been drawn to the circles, cycles, symbols and spirituality that prevailed in indigenous cultures.

“I remembered a 1993 exhibition of Maori artists at the University of Hawai‘i,” recalls Pao. “The artists there decided to use their voices, their history, their belief system, their current issues such as alcoholism, poverty and wellness.”

Pao headed for New Zealand and enrolled at the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland. He soon became a welcome part of a cosmopolitan community of Maori and other Pacific Islanders, who impressed him with their humility and strength. Inspired, Pao immersed himself in the symbols and tradi-tions of Hawai‘i.

“Kumulipo,” which served as his master’s thesis and received top honors from the university, could therefore be considered a seminal piece for Pao. It illustrates his approach of applying kaona and wä in his art. “This presentation shows the multiple layers of kaona, or hidden meanings in the chants,” says Pao. “The wä, or eras, are chapters between the panels. The layers have a spiritual pur-pose of preparing the space.” Thus, the space between the panels is as important as the panels themselves.

Viewed from right to left, the panels of acrylic, paper and varnish on fiberboard depict various episodes in the creation story. “The first series of panels shows a period of darkness, the night,” explains Pao. “Certain creatures abound in the later panels such as a cat, dog, pig and one god becoming two, male and female. Beyond the process of evolution, there are stories of migrations, social struc-tures and political ties.”

Over the years, Pao’s art has evolved from works with highly textured layers to more paintings on canvas with stronger colors and strokes. “I found myself painting in a looser, freer and expressionistic way,” says Pao. “After ‘Kumulipo,’ for example, I used more reds, creamy greens, blues, with dark tones made from brown and blue. The art generally became bigger, bolder.”

Today, Pao, a multimedia artist, is a popular teacher of ceramics at his alma mater, Kamehameha Schools at the high school’s Kapalama campus. Despite his busy sched-ule, he finds time to work on his own art nearly every day. His home studio is made up of the lanai and a space underneath his house. There, Pao enjoys some quiet time late at night when he is alone with his thoughts and will work sometimes into the early morning hours.

On a wall outside of the lanai he places a canvas, which may be anything from a 1/8-inch-thick piece of plywood to multi-density fiberboard. With this blank slate before him, Pao begins the process of creating his artwork using tools such as builders paper, acrylic paints, Sharpies, shellac and brushes of various sizes, among other items. “I share the space with my dog Tama, a couple of birds in their cages, the hanging laundry and other things out there,” he chuckles.

The space under the house is where Pao produces his ceramic pieces, sitting on the dirt floor at a potter’s wheel. “There’s an overhead hanging light and the ceiling is not tall enough for me to stand,” says Pao. “I am accompanied by the occasional cockroach, mouse or feral cats that pass by.”

Pao’s art is inspired by the primal

symbolism of Hawaiian culture.

He combines these symbols

with bright, strong colors and

bold strokes, creating works that

express a contemporary aesthetic

while acknowledging the past.

Indeed, home and family are important to Pao. “Family is key in his work,” says Rich Richardson, executive director of the Hawai‘i Academy of Performing Arts, which featured several of Pao’s abstract paintings during the summer and fall of 2015. “His abstractions reinvigorate traditional ancient visual motifs. He gives old symbols new power.”

Take, for example, Pao’s body tattoos. They are a symbol of family and reflect a dream he once had. “My dream was very vivid of a shark biting my leg and octopus ink filling in the bite marks. On my chest is Kiha, another ancestor. I have wedding bands on my wrists. Our aumakua (family god) is the shark, a symbol of strength and protection.”

Pao does not sign his works, feeling that an obvious signature detracts from the importance of the art itself. Instead, he uses a watermark within each painting. The watermark is intermittently visible or invisible to the naked eye, an effect similar to that of the “ghost” of Benjamin Franklin on a $100 bill. For Pao, it is art, not ego, that is significant.

It is a lesson Pao passes on to the next generation. He encourages his students and budding artists to do something new and relevant to their identity. “I tell them, ‘Look, look around you, what inspires you? Be true to yourself.’ There are some up-and-coming native Hawaiian artists like Cory Taum, also multimedia, and Kupa’a Hee, a sculptor.”

Titi, Pao’s five-year-old daughter, may be included in that number of future native Hawaiian artists. “She loves to draw and colors with crayons,” says the proud father. “Titi also works with paper and acrylics.”

Like the cycle of life depicted in “Kumulipo,” young Hawaiian artists are dis-covering their past yet bringing their own experience to their art—art which may prove as timeless as that of Carl F.K. Pao. What is old is new again. ❀

LIL IKOI FACTS If you’re looking for fresh

lilikoi, your best bets will be

farmers markets, Chinatown

stalls or your neighbor’s

backyard.

Purple and pale yellow lilikoi

grow throughout the Islands.

Which is sweeter? That’s hard

to say—each has its fans.

One thing all agree on: Its

wrinkles will tell you when a

lilikoi is ready to eat. Until

then, the shiny-smooth fruit is

as tart as a lemon.

They’re crunchy, but yes,

you can eat the seeds. To

separate them from the pulp,

scoop out of the shell and

pulse on low in a food proces-

sor for a few seconds.

Lilikoi gets its English

name, passion fruit, from its

vibrant, five-petaled flower.

Early Spaniards named it the

“flower of the five wounds”

after Christ’s crucifixion.

The fresh fruit is not only

delicious, it’s good for you.

Rich in vitamin C and fiber,

it’s also a good source of

vitamin A—but be careful!

Lilikoi’s intense sweetness

comes from a good helping

of sugar.

into their children’s holiday memories. “We have one family that comes from the mainland every Christmas and orders lilikoi soufflés,” Hirabayashi says. “It’s their tradition.”

While occasionally you might find savory dishes incorporating lilikoi, like barbecued ribs or Hirabayashi’s roast chicken glazed with lilikoi, chili and lehua blossom honey, desserts with lilikoi far outnumber savory dishes incorporating the flavor. But whether you’re basting ribs or spooning a tangy topping over ice cream or cheesecake, you’ll get lilikoi’s intense signature flavor whether you use fresh pulp, concentrate or a jar of lilikoi jelly or curd.

Puckery-tart and intensely sweet: Simple as it is, that’s the indelible beauty of lilikoi. ❀
