Te ao o nga kara paeke reo o nehe he wāhi nui rawa, tae atu ki ngā momo pai me ngā kōrero o mua. Mēnā koe e kite ana i tētahi pūoro iti i ō ringa, me he iwi e whakaora nei i te hau e whitiwhiti ana i ēnei tau. Nā reira, kāore ngā pūoro hau o mua he mea iti noa; pērā i tētahi mahi toi, he pukapuka iti o ngā kōrero o mua. Pēhea rā ka haere mātou ki te ao pai ake o ngā pūoro hau o mua, ā, ka whakamārama mātou i te mea e ai ki a rātou i a ngā kaihuihui mōrearea i te ao katoa.
Nō te mea he rerekē tonu ngā āhua me ngā whatitanga o ngā pūoro hau o mua, hei tūtonu pai rawa i a koe e whakaaro ana. Ko ētahi o ngā pūoro e whai ake ana i ngā hangarau pai, pērā i ngā kōwhai iti rerekē rānei, rānei ko ngā kura kairangi. He iti noa ā he pai me ngā tūtohu tika me te tohu kahurangi ki ētahi atu. Ki tēnā, he taonga nui kē ia hei kite i ia pūoro hau o mua, ahakoa te āhua.
Tētahi take nui no reira nga kara paeke reo o nehe me te whanonga pai o ngā momo hangarite. Mai i te whakatō o te kiri pū ki roto i te wae ki te tokoiti e mau ai i te kohukohu, ko te wae kohukohu tawhito i hangaia me te aroha me te mōhio. Ko ēnei wae kei te hanga i te ringa, kei te whakaahu i te ringa, rānei kei te whakaputu i te ringa, ā, ka taea te whakaaro he mahi toi tuatahi.
Ngā wae kōwhaiwai o neheKa whai muri atu te hītori o ngā wae kōwhaiwai. Hei tauira, i tuhia e Pliny the Elder, ko te mea nā te Mīhitara Īpitera i roto i ō rātou kāinga he mea whakapūmau i ō rātou paihikara ki runga i ngā wae e whai ake nei i te 'kōwhaiwai whatu matua me te huarahi tūpuhi, pounamu tino maha, ā he wā ka kitea he kiri huarahi.' I whakaaetia mai anō te kiri huarahi hei utu whakamahere mō ngā wae kōwhaiwai, nā te mea ka taea te hanga i ngā wae ahuatika me ngā wae noa i te ao.
Ki runga i ngā tau o te wā whakawhitiwhiti o te Kuīni Vika, kāore i mate he mea nui, he mea rangatira ngā wae paihikara. Ka whakaaturia e ngā wāhine ō rātou kohanga wae kōwhaiwai ki runga i ō rātou papa kēmu hei tohu mō ō rātou manaaki pai. Ki te ao nei, ka tino rangatira tonu ngā wae kōwhaiwai o mua, ā, kei te rapu tonu ngā kaiwhakarite i ngā karangatanga me ngā pakirehua oline.
Nō te wā o mua, ngā pūtakapū hohoro ko tērā he hīkoi nui ki ngā iwi katoa i runga i te whenua. Ko te mea nui i whakaawe nei i a rātou he mea nui te āhua, he taonga o mua rātou, ā, he mea hanga i te ringa. Kia whai mana ngā kaitautoko i te mahi i roto i te hunga e noho ana i te hunga tautoko, arā, ka hiahia rātou ki te rapu i ngā pūtakapū kotahi-tēnā-kotahi hei whakauru ki tō rātou kohinga, ahakoa he kōwhiringa ataahua Art Deco rānei he taonga atua Victoria rānei.
He mea nui, he mea pai hoki te pūtake i roto i ngā pūtakapū hohoro o mua, arā, te pūtake i whakarite ai i te hohoro. Ka hanga ngā pūtake i te kiriwhara, i te kōura, rānei i te mete, me te hanga ki te whakatūhia i te waewae o te pūtaka. He ara atu ngā oira, he āhua kākā rānei, ka whakawhanake te āhua o te hanga.
Nō te mea ka hanga ngā kara karapū o tatou i runga i ngā rauemi pai me ngā tohu hanga pai, e āta whakamārama ana ki te ao me te kīngi, e mahi ana i tō koutou raruraru ki te pai ake me te māori.
