Having been built for years in collaboration with native Hawaiian artists and knowledge-bearers, ‘Hawai’i: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans’exhibition shines light to the lesser-known side of the relationship between Hawaii and the United Kingdom.
The exhibition showcases over 150 objects, including contemporary artworks made by Hawaiian artists, rarely seen international loans and a fathered cloak with a remarkable story.
An Ill-Fated Royal Visit
Photo: Urban Adventurer
In the 18th century, the presence of foreign powers increased in Hawaii. Chief of Hawaii Islands, Kamehameha I unified the entire archipelago and became the first king of Hawaii.
Kamehameha I was known to be a remarkable strategic leader who nurtured relationships with foreign powers. Hoping for protection from the United Kingdom King Kamehameha I sent a long cloak made from hundreds of thousands of tiny feathers to George III in 1810 with a letter asking for protection against foreign powers.
The gift was received by the Prince Regent due to the king’s mental illness and displayed in Carlton House as a “Curious Feather Coat Sent by King of the Sandwich Islands”.
In return, King Kamehameha I only received vague promise of support and a gold-laced cocked hat.
Years later, King George III and King Kamehameha I died and succeeded by their eldest sons, George IV and Kamehameha II – also known as Liholiho.
LihoLiho sent a letter to George IV but after 3 years passing, he didn’t receive reply. Although, travelling to Hawaii from the UK it takes around 17 hours today, back in the 19th century, it took 2 long years for LihoLiho’s letter to arrive to the United Kingdom.
In 1823 LihoLiho embarked on a journey to the United Kingdom to seek alliance. He travelled with his wife, Kamāmalu (also known as Tamehamalu) and a delegation of 11 people.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro where King LihoLiho presented another feather cloak to the Births consul resident, Sir Henry Chamberlain.
Tragically LihoLiho and his young queen caught measles shortly after arriving to the United Kingdom and both died before ever had the chance to meet the British king.
Highlights of the Exhibition
Silver and ivory teapot. London, England 1824-25
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Following the tragic death of King LihoLiho (Kamehameha II) and his wife Queen Kamāmalu, their ship went back to Hawaii with the remains of the late king and queen.
Arriving in Honolulu in May 1825, British officials presented gifts to the Hawaiian royal family. This silver teapot was one of them. It was presented to Kuhina Nui (Ka’ahumanu), the wife of the late king Kamehameha I, and regent.
The engraved pot shows the British arms on one side and the name of the recipient on the other.
Charles Josheph Hullmandel (1789 – 1850), after John Hayter, Na Poki, Prime Minister of the Sandwich Islands; and his wife, Liliha. Lithograph, 1824
Photo: Urban Adventurer
This lithograph showcases the Governor of O’ahu and his wife, high chiefess Liliha, as sitting for an official portrait in London. The picture was created during the visit of a Hawaiian royal delegation to London in 1824 to introducing Hawaiian culture and present Hawaiian leader as sovereign figures on the global stage.
They’re both wearing Hawaiian garments, including a feathered cloak and helmet, barkcloth, and whale-tooth necklace.
‘Ahu’ula (cloak), Maui, Hawai’i
Photo: Urban Adventurer
This red and yellow feather cloak was made before 1778. It’s thought to have been the one presented by high chief Kahekili of Maui to British Captain Charles Clerke, who accompanied Captain James Cook on a voyage to Hawai’i between 1778 and 1779.
The cloak is made with millions of tiny bird feathers. The feathers were carefully harvested without killing the birds.
Mahiole hulu manu (feathered helmets), ‘ie’ie rootlet, olona fibre and feathers (‘I’iwi, ‘ō’ō, memo), Hawai’i, possibly late 1700s
Photo: Urban Adventurer
These helmets were worn in battles and ceremonies. They’re made from arial rootlets of the ‘ie’ie plant. Each mahiole is unique because different ways of waving are incorporated in the helmet to create a basket structure. Once the helmet shape was done, they attached small feathers to it creating the most different patterns.
Kapa (barkcloth), mulberry bast, Hawai’i, possibly late 1700s or early 1800s
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Kapa is a piece of barkcloth made from the inner bark of the paper mulberry tree. It was probably worn as the upper layer of a skirt (pā’ū). It’s decorated using a wooden liner tool (lapa) which they dipped in red and black pigment to draw the intricate patterns.
Wehi hulu (feathered ornament), ‘ie’ie rootlet, olona fibre, pearshell, wood, ‘I’iwi and ‘ō’ō feathers. Date unknown
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The name of this implement or ornament has not been historically recorded, neither the context of use. There are only a few examples of these items remained today.
Ki’i akua (god image) representing Kū, a god associated with warfare and governance. Late 1770 or early 1800s
Photo: Urban Adventurer
This sculpture is carved from a single piece of ‘ulu (breadfruit wood) and may have been brought to London by Hawaiian king LihoLiho in 1824.
This figure was likely stood on a place of worship (heiau) in Kona on the largest island of the Hawai’i archipelago.
‘Umeke ki’i (bowl with figure), kou wood, pearlshell, red ‘I’iwi red feathers, kapa (barkcloth) and dog fur. Possibly late 1700s
Photo: Urban Adventurer
This bowl is made from kou wood and was likely used to serve small portion of medicine or food. The carved figure probably represents a chiefly person in a serving position. The high status is indicated by the figure wearing feathered headdress and red malo (loincloth).

Jane Austen in London
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Although, Jane Austen spent much of her life in Hampshire and several years in Bath, London held a special place in her life.
She often visited her beloved brother, Henry Austen who lived in London. During her visits, she loved exploring theatres, drawing rooms and book shops that shaped the society she portrayed in her books.
Jane Austen also published many of her novels through her brother’s London connections.
There are lots of Jane Austen locations in London, but here is a list of key highlights:
Twinings’ Tea Shop
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Twinings’ Tea Shop is London’s oldest tea shop that Jane Austen often visited when she was in London. In one of her diary entries she mentions that her mother and sister asked her to pick up some Twinings’ tea for them.
In the 18th century, Chinese teas were very popular, especially Gunpowder Green, Souchong and Congou.
St Clement Danes Church
This was the church where Lydia Bennet and Mr. Wickham’s secret elopement took place in Pride and Prejudice.
10 Henrietta Street
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Covent Garden was a very fashionable area in Jane Austen’s day and still is today. This is where Jane Austen’s brother Henry lived with his wife and Jane also lived here between the summer of 1813 and March 1814.
The Dashwood sisters from Sense and Sensibility also had lodgings here; and Royal Drudy Lane Theatre is also nearby which played a key role in the novel.
Brunswick Square
In Emma, the title character’s older sister, Isabella and her husband, John Knightely live at a Bloomsbury address.
Although, most of the houses have been demolished, Brunswick Square remains a public park where you can easily imagine famous couples from a Jane Austen novel sitting on a bench, enjoying the warmth of a sunny afternoon.
Kensington Gardens
In Sense and Sensibility, Elinor Dashwood takes a walk in Kensington Gardens when she is interrupted by Anne Steele, the sister of her love rival Lucy Steele, with a gossip about Edward Ferrars.
If you wish to dive deeper into Jane Austen’s life, why not book a 2hrs 30min history trail in Bath?
The Jane Austen’s Bath and History Trail in Bath is a guided tour through which you will explore the city’s iconic locations, including The Jane Austen Centre, Bath Abbey, No. 1 Royal Crescent, Queen Square and others by an expert guide fluent in English and German.
You’ll discover the timeless beauty of the city that inspired many of Jane Austen’s novels, the rich history and stunning architecture of Bath, and you will even have the opportunity to experience the unique charm of Britain’s only natural thermal waters at Thermae Bath Spa.
Ready for your next adventure? You still have time to visit the Marie Antoinette Style exhibition at V&A South Kensington. The exhibition explores how the famous French Queen shaped fashion, culture, design, music and literature over the centuries.

Sadly, there’s only one of the ancient 7 Wonders stands today. That’s the Great Pyramids of Giza.
The new 7 Wonders of the World were chosen through a global poll between 2000 and 2007, and the results were announced in the Summer of 2007.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The new 7 Wonders of the World are the Colosseum in Rome, the Chichén Itzá in Mexico, the Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, the Taj Mahal in India, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil and the Machu Picchu in Peru.

Japan House London’s new exhibition is celebrating the beauty of everyday objects.
Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan exhibition is organised in collaboration of Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. (MUJI) and was first presented at ATELIER MUJI GINZA in Tokyo in 2023.
ATELIER MUJI GINZA is a six-floor cultural space, consisting of an art gallery hosting annual exhibitions focusing on craft and design, a library, a café, a lounge and the MUJI flagship store selling daily necessities, furniture, health & beauty products, food, fashion, kitchen supplies and other everyday essentials.

In Japan, craft practices (should it be lacquerware, wood, glass, clay, leather or any other material) are often passed down through generations for – often times – hundreds of years resulting incredibly high-quality and unique hand-crafted products.
Before the 1920s, the focus was on the beauty of the hand-crafted objects while craftsmen remain anonymous until the ‘folk craft’ (mingei) movement turned people’s attention to the artists.

Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan exhibition, rather than celebrating a single material, craft or technique, invites over 120 craftsmen, artists and makers to showcase the diversity of craftsmanship, materials, self-expression, and tradition that all blend together to form Japan’s contemporary craft landscape as it looks like today.
“The flow of the river never ceases, and yet the water is never the same.” Kamo no Chōmei

“As people daily lives change, so the objects we use.” – says Simon Wright, Director of Programming at Japan House London.
Japan House London’s new exhibition is a rare opportunity for visitors to witness how deep rooted traditions evolve, change and shape through personal history and the local environment over the centuries.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Although, traditions change over the centuries, they are able to embrace individuality without ever confining. As a result, individuality and traditions can create a harmony and function, aesthetic and purpose.
13th-century Japanese writer, Kamo no Chōmei ‘s words resonate with this beautifully in his Hōjōki (An Account of My Hut):“The flow of the river never ceases, and yet the water is never the same.”
“We hope visitors will see this craft not simply as objects, but as an innovation to reflect on ways of living that connect creativity, community and care.” – Simon Wright adds.
Gallery Tours, Workshops and Demonstrations

Japan House London is running special gallery tours led (by curator Nagata Takahiro and maker Ichikawa Takashi), workshops, including intimate tea gatherings with Ichikawa Takashi, talks with special guests as well as demonstrations throughout the the exhibition until 10th May 2026.

Ichikawa Takashi is a Japanese potter, based in Shiga, Japan. He was born in Shiga Prefecture and graduated from Hokkaido University of Education Kushiro Campus before continued his studies in Joetsu University of Education, specialising in sculpture.
He also studied ceramics and worked at various studios across Japan. In his own studio in Maibara City, Ichikawa-san makes pottery and accessories, including tea saucers, wooden lids and vessels. His works have been exhibited in Japan and abroad.

You can find his works in the exhibition, and some of them are available to purchase at Japan House London’s shop.
Led by his interest in tea cultures around the world, Ichikawa-san is specialised in tea pottery, wild plant, medicine and herbs. He often hosts tea gatherings and demonstrations to help people rediscover the joy of living in harmony with nature.
At his tea demonstrations, Ichikawa-san introduces the most different herbs and wild plants to his audience and encourages them to create their own blend based on their personal tastes.

During his tea demonstration we participated in at the Press Preview of the exhibition, we had the opportunity to taste three different blends, created entirely by us, representing the root, the leaves and the flowers.
We also had the opportunity to make an interview with Ichikawa-san.
Q:I recently came across a very informative and interesting article about your work and style on the Internet and learnt that you have your very own style when it comes to pottery making (especially teacups, pots and tea kettles that you’re specialised for). Could you please tell me a few words about your own style? How have it shaped over the years and what are the hallmarks of your style?
Ichikawa Takashi:
In terms of my practice, I mainly work through solo exhibitions. I initially started by making vessels to accompany food and tea, but gradually became more and more absorbed in tea itself.
An encounter with towering tea trees led me to perceive tea as an event involving plants, water, and fire (the sun).
From this perspective, I began wanting to create tools and objects that draw out the appeal of plants and allow people to enjoy them.
The things I want to make always have a concrete purpose. Based on that purpose, factors such as size, capacity, thickness, and weight are determined, which then lead to decisions about appropriate materials and firing methods.
Depending on the object, porcelain may be suitable, or earthenware, or heat-resistant clay. I use different kilns accordingly: two types of wood-fired kilns, an oil-fired kiln, as well as electric and charcoal kilns.
In addition to ceramics, I also work with iron, wood, bamboo, and stone, creating various tools—such as distillers, roasters, and mills—as well as tea carts, counters, benches, and other devices that suggest the beginning of something, enabling playful tea experiences.
Everything I create carries a story behind it, and I take pleasure in that process.
Q:What inspires you when creating your pottery? How does the creation process look like? Do you have a specific idea in mind when you start working or do you just let it go and see what come out?
Ichikawa Takashi:
I am inspired by whatever currently captures my interest.
This changes from time to time, but everything is connected.
At first, I focused on home cooking, making vessels for the dishes I wanted to eat.
Now, my interests include decocted teas, tisanes, and tea practices among ethnic minorities.
From the tools used, the actions taken, and the reasons behind them, forms I want to make begin to emerge.
These forms become more concrete as I work—by moving my hands.
Q:You’re not just an expert in tea pottery making, but also make your own tea blends from herbs, wild plants and medicinal herbs. You also smoke the tea leaves if my knowledge is correct. Could you, please tell me a few words about that?
Ichikawa Takashi:
First, when the desire to create swells up from my mind, I begin working with clay. This stage may be the most important.
Once the content or object is decided, I consider what kind of clay to use, along with capacity, size, and weight, and then determine the firing method.
When shaping and finishing, I think about where the excitement lies in the object.
Wanting people to use the pieces casually, I aim for simple forms, avoiding overworking them, while searching for the right balance.
My goal is to create objects that can grow and mature like well-used old tools.
Although it may sound like I work “slowly and carefully,” the actual rhythm of making is very fluid and energetic—I make continuously, following a comfortable flow.
I rarely aim to make identical forms; instead, I focus on capturing the “now” that emerges from my hands, much like singing a song.
Once the form is made, it is finished, dried, glazed if necessary (unglazed for yakishime pieces), loaded into the kiln, and fired.
Firing durations vary depending on the kiln. The longest firings last three days or even up to a week.
After unloading the kiln, there is further finishing, and then the work is complete.
Some objects—such as distillers or roasters—may appear enigmatic. In those cases, the fired ceramic pieces are combined with other materials to complete the work.
I make tea because I want to understand it more deeply, and I host tea gatherings as part of that exploration.
Neither my tea-making methods nor the style of my tea gatherings are entirely original. I do have references, but I don’t reproduce them exactly—I alter them slightly.
Rather than replication, I add small innovations to keep things feeling fresh, creating playful interactions with participants.
What I want to create are the triggers, settings, and landscapes around tea.
My current style draws inspiration from ethnic minority tea practices, the early discovery of tea, historical accounts, and nostalgic memories.
I also reference related fields surrounding tea—such as non-tea teas (茶外茶), wild herb teas, medicinal teas, soups, jams, dyeing, incense, and other forms of plant use.
This is not about making things complicated, but about simplicity—engaging with the event of plants, water, and fire (the sun).
I find it fascinating when conversations about these elements naturally arise.
By understanding the reasons and benefits behind incorporating living plants into daily life, and by re-experiencing those intentions, we can rediscover the value of current tea and sense new possibilities.
While deep knowledge within each field is important, it can sometimes obstruct pure, intuitive perception.
Letting go of that knowledge for a moment and facing the plants in our daily lives can feel surprisingly fresh and insightful.
I am also drawn to water—such as spring water as living water—and to the differences between soft and hard water; there is still much to explore.
As for heat—fire and the sun—it is a powerful and potentially dangerous energy, precisely because of which we must cultivate attentiveness and respect when engaging with it.
Beyond smoking tea leaves, I am particularly interested in roasting and decocting tea. Each practice has its purpose and effects.
What fascinates me most is the here-and-now quality that does not lend itself to commodification or distribution.
The fleeting moments when aromas rise during roasting or decoction are profoundly rich experiences.
Many of my tea gatherings take the form of participatory workshops.
There is no single “beautiful, delicious, correct” tea prepared in advance.
Participants blend, roast, and experience those fleeting aromatic moments themselves—experiences distinct from simply drinking tea, and ones that can be carried forward into future practices.
I act only as a gentle guide. Of course, I do my best to prepare delicious tea, but more than that, my hope is for the space to become neutral ground where people feel the power of plants, exchange ideas and information, and expand their curiosity—allowing them to shift their own interests into the next stage.
Q:Do you have favourite tea or blend?
Ichikawa Takashi:
I wouldn’t say that I possess a specific original technique, nor am I pursuing one.
When I first started, I did search for originality in colors, forms, and finishes, but that approach became superficial and led to a dead end.
Now, my main concern is: how can I do what I truly want to enjoy?
From there, I think about materials I like, how to combine them, and finding the right balance.
I feel much closer to what I truly want to do than before—I’ve become more playful.
I love rock tea (or yancha), especially Da Hong Pao. Its rich aroma, deep strength, and the way it endures through many infusions are especially appealing.
That said, as I continue to encounter new tea practices, my curiosity never settles on just one thing.
My favorites change with the seasons and with my physical condition. Recently, I’m particularly drawn to tisanes!
As for blending, rather than fixed recipes, I enjoy adjusting blends and brewing methods according to my condition at the time—adding ginger, spices, fresh herbs, or wild plants.
Introducing change and play allows me to enjoy the present moment more fully.
I believe that repeatedly engaging in this kind of play helps each person cultivate their own inner landscape.
Note: Japan House London will close early at 6pm on 15th December

The UK’s First Immersive Pompeii Exhibition
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Travel back in time to 79 AD and discover a blooming Roman city bursting with life. Explore real artefacts excavated on the site, learn how the city met with its fate and how it remained forgotten for centuries before architect Domenico Fontana accidentally discovered it in the 16th century.
Real Artefacts from Pompeii
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There are multiple rooms to discover during your exhibition journey.
The first one is the Excavation Room where you can discover real artefacts straight from Pompeii, including bronze and glass vessels with elaborated decorations as an example of high level of craftsmanship, a helmet, sculpture fragments and a fragment of a sarcophagus.
You will learn more about the Pompeiian’s eating habits and diet and how everyday life looked like.
The Bodies of Pompeii
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The bodies of Pompeii as we know them are not the real bodies of the victims.
As high-temperature pyroclastic follows buried the city, it buried its people too. As the volcanic ash slowly hardened and the bodies decomposed, they left hollows behind.
Lead archaeologist, Giuseppe Fiorelli pioneered a revolutionary technique on how to recover the bodies. He filled the hollows with melted plaster that penetrated into all facial cavities and clothing folds, recovering the final position of men, women and even animals, their facial expression and even the folds of their clothing.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
One of the most emotional scenes is a body of a dog frozen in time. It was found with a collar and a chain as it desperately tried to escape.
Over 1,000 victims have been recovered with Fiorelli’s groundbreaking method.
In 2022, scientists of University of Copenhagen reached another breakthrough: they successfully sequenced the genome of a Pompeii victim for the first time.
Seated VR Experience
The next room is a seated VR experience. You will travel on a chariot and go to the Colosseum to witness a gladiator battle up close. You’ll even submerge under the water as the Colosseum turns into a naval battlefield and you have to dodge from the shooting spears.
360 Degree Projection Room
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The 360 degree projection room with its 8-mter-high walls provide an awe-inspiring experience.
You will follow the personal story of a Pompeiian, walk on the streets and learn about the everyday life in the city as well as the Roman culture. Until suddenly everything changes…
Photo: Urban Adventurer
You will witness the violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius, see how the pyroclastic flow is coming closer, and how giant rocks are destroying everything around you.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Then you’re inside the chaos. Fire and hot ash everywhere. You can see nothing around you. You don’t know where’s up and where’s down. You’re in the middle of it.
Then silence. You’re buried under the ash for centuries.
Suddenly you hear a rattling sound behind the ivy. An archaeologist as he’s accidentally discovering the ruins of Pompeii.
Interactive Room
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The next room is full of interactive installations.
Became an archaeologist and excavate virtual artefacts, discover the map of Pompeii and learn interesting facts about the Roman empire by touching mini sculptures.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Did you know that our roads are built using the same method as the Romans used?
Walk Through VR Experience
The next room is a walk through VR experience where you can explore the Villa of the Mysteries. First, you’ll see how it looks like now, then how it looked like before the eruption.
You’ll explore the garden, the wine cellar, the kitchen and all other parts of the house.
Graffiti Room
Next, you’ll learn more about Pompeiian fashion before stepping into the graffiti room. Did you know that there were graffities on the walls even in Pompeii?
Many of them have been discovered and translated. Some of them are political slogans, calling to vote for a specific candidate, others are warning signs, such as “Beware of the dog”, and there are very personal messages and declarations as well, for example: “Pleasure is life with a beloved” and “Stranger, here I am: I am miserable because I have scabies”.
You can leave you own message or drawing on the wall. Simply choose a marker and let your creativity flow.
Became a Pompeiian
See how you would look like a Pompeiian at the final room. Simply sit down, look into the camera and let AI do the job. Make sure you do it twice because it will generate a man and a woman version of you.

Mary Shelley Wrote Frankenstein as Part of a Writing Challenge
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein as part of a writing challenge between herself and famous poets, Percy Shelley (her husband) and Lord Byron.
While visiting Villa Diodati in Switzerland, a violent storm reached the whole country and forced all three of them within the walls of the villa. Stuck indoors for days, Byron suggested a writing competition. All three of them wrote ghost stories to pass time and they voted for the best.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Needless to say, Shelley’s Frankenstein won the competition. It was 1816 and Mary Shelley was only 18 years old, and this was her first time writing a fiction novel. Frankenstein was published two years later in 1818.
If the weather was nice during Mary Shelley’s visit in Switzerland, she would probably have never written Frankenstein.
Over the decades, her novel inspired films, literature, fashion, music, technology and science. The impact of the story of ‘The Modern Prometheus’ is with us even today in the 21st century to remind us that we are responsible for what we’ve created.
