When you go to Hawaii, you often see leis made from fresh flowers. For the people of Hawaii, it is an offering to God, and it is a gift that is given to loved ones, regardless of age or gender, when they want to express their feelings.

People tend to think that making such fresh flower leis in Japan is difficult and difficult, but it is actually possible to make beautiful leis using flowers available at domestic flower shops.

This book was originally published in 2011, with the addition of content from ``Lei Making with Flowers from a Florist'', which the author serialized for two and a half years in the hula magazine ``Nice Hula Style''. In addition, this is a greatly expanded and revised edition that includes a newly shot Rei, and has significantly increased the number of Rei points and pages.

Divided into two chapters on lei-making techniques: ``Connecting with needle and thread'' and ``Twisting, knitting, and winding'', detailed photo explanations using plants that are familiar in Japan such as carnations, chrysanthemums, gentians, hyacinths, and ferns. I'll walk you through the process. If you follow the photos, even beginners can make the flower lei of their dreams.

Leis are especially essential for hula dancers. In addition to flower leis, we also introduce many fern leis that are often used when dancing Kahiko. Why not try dancing hula with a lei you made yourself?
