Person

Mele Tupou

Mele designs furniture out of a small studio in Kaimukī. She works mostly in koa and concrete, makes everything by hand, and takes about six months per piece. She doesn't have a website. People find her through other people.

Place

Maunawili Valley

She drives there on Sunday mornings before anyone else is awake. There is a trail that follows a stream, and the light comes through the trees in a way she has never been able to describe to anyone satisfactorily. She has tried. She goes back instead.

Thing

A Cast Iron Pan

It belonged to her grandmother. The handle is wrapped in twine because it broke once and was fixed that way and nobody ever changed it. She uses it every day. She would not trade it for anything in this shop or any other.

Person

James Nakasone

James ran a hardware store in Mōʻiliʻili for thirty-one years. He retired last spring and now spends his mornings restoring old hand planes. He says the work requires no decisions, which is why he loves it.

Place

Ala Moana at 6am

Before the parking lot fills. Before the joggers. He walks the length of the beach slowly, shoes in hand, and does not check his phone. He has done this for forty years. He plans to do it for forty more.

Thing

A Wood Plane, circa 1940

He found it at an estate sale in Palolo for three dollars. The blade was rusted through but the body was sound. He spent two weekends on it. Now it takes a shaving so thin you can read through it.

Person

Yuki Tanaka

Yuki is a ceramicist who moved from Kyoto to Nuʻuanu eight years ago. She makes small bowls and cups, fires them in a kiln she built herself in the back of her garden. She sells them at the Sunday market when she feels like it.

Place

Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout

She goes when the wind is strongest. It is so loud up there that thinking becomes impossible, which is sometimes exactly what she needs. She stands at the railing until her mind goes quiet and then she drives back down and works.

Thing

A Bamboo Tea Whisk

She has had it since she was nineteen. The tines are starting to fray. She uses it every morning anyway. She knows she should replace it and she is not going to.

No. 004

Person

Leilani Kahale

Leilani teaches hula on Tuesday evenings in a community hall in Kāneʻohe. During the day she works in a plant nursery. She says the two jobs are not as different as they sound — both are about learning to pay attention.

Place

Kualoa Ranch at Dusk

She grew up driving past it. She still stops sometimes on the way home, pulls off the road and looks at the mountains turning purple. It takes about four minutes and she always feels better afterwards.

Thing

A Woven Lau Hala Hat

Her aunt made it for her when she was twelve. It is too small now but she keeps it on a shelf above her door. She cannot explain why exactly. It just needs to be there.

A bridge between two worlds.

Today, Tomorrow lives in the middle — between the clean lines of Finnish mid-century design and the layered, living history of Chinatown. Between heirloom and everyday. Between what endures and what surprises.

Everything here is chosen with intention: objects that earn their place in a home, that age well, that mean something to the person who chose them.

We are tucked inside Chinatown's Nuʻuanu corridor, in a building that has seen many lives. That history is part of the feeling.
