EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of native Fijians gathered around a communal bowl, engaged in the traditional Fijian ceremony of drinking Kava, or yaquon. The scene unfolds in the 1900s, during a time when the Republic of Fiji was undergoing significant cultural and social changes brought about by European colonization. The handmade wooden bowls, intricately carved and polished, are a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Fijian people. Kava bowls, known as yaquon, have been an integral part of Fijian culture for centuries, used not only for the consumption of the bitter brew but also for various rituals and ceremonies. The men in the photograph are dressed in traditional Fijian attire, with their mats spread out around them. They are seen passing the bowl around, taking turns to drink the kava, which is prepared from the roots of the pepper plant. The act of drinking kava is believed to bring about a sense of peace, unity, and social harmony within the community. Despite the encroachment of Western influences, the practice of drinking kava continues to be an essential aspect of Fijian culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the traditions and customs that have shaped the identity of the Fijian people. The handmade wooden bowls, passed down from generation to generation, serve as a reminder of the deep-rooted history and cultural significance of this ancient practice.
