Canefield Songs: Holehole Bushi


[ed. Such beautiful music. I grew up in the canefields of Waipahu (where many of these pictures were taken). They were my playground. And my grandparents worked the pineapple plantation on Lanai for most of their lives. Plantation life. Strong memories, and some of them very sad (such a hard life, and feelings of mono no aware, too). See also: Allison Arakawa Hole Hole Bushi (YouTube).]
