Weâre thrilled to debut the latest edition of our custom publication, Violet, produced exclusively for Kobayashi Group. An homage to the matriarch of the Kobayashi âohana, the name represents our values as a family-run company deeply rooted in the islands and serves as a symbol of our commitment to doing well by the communities we serve.
In the following pages, youâll find stories of others moved, as we are, by that which they hold dear: a husband and wife who fell into a lifelong patronage of African American artists; a banana farmer with an inexplicable affinity for the fruit in its many exotic forms; chefs whose love for their land and culture inspires them to serve up gourmet fare with a sense of place.
We enter some of Honoluluâs collaborative studio spaces into the world of makers bonded by a shared passion for their craft, then we offer up a dose of nostalgia with a fond reverie about the local games many of us grew up playing in our âhanabataâ days. We follow a Hawaiâi writer on a trip to discover the heart and soul of Istanbul, and in our ode to West Maui on page 98, we pay tribute to a beloved place in light of the tragic wildfires that swept the island last year.
This issue, join us in honoring storied settings, treasured moments, and paths paved with purpose, allowing them to inspire us all on our journeys forward, guided always by the things that matter most.

The abundance of artwork hanging in Jean and Robert Steeleâs Hawaii Kai condo traces a genealogy of African American printmaking. There are pieces by pioneering artists like James Lesesne Wells, a graphic artist and printmaker influential to the Harlem Renaissance, and Romare Bearden, whose vibrant collages depict the Black lived experience. Yet thereâs one small piece in the coupleâs bedroom that stands apart from the rest: Tony Northernâs Three African Women in Profile, which the artist painted on the side of a cardboard box. Robert purchased the painting in 1968 for $10 from an art gallery in Harlem, but not before asking his wife for

permission first. Jean winced at the price. They were both graduate students at the time, with Robert interning at the Harlem Hospital, and the purchase would significantly cut into their weekly grocery budget. After further discussion, she acquiesced, launchingâto both of their surpriseâan over five-decade journey of collecting works on paper by African American artists.
âForward Together: African American Prints from the Jean and Robert Steele Collection,â shown in two rotations at the Honolulu Museum of Art through September 2024, comprises a significant segment of that collection. Acquired by the museum as a partial gift from the Steeles, the exhibitionâs 55 prints by 25 artists spans four decades and more than doubles the African American artists represented in HoMAâs permanent collection. âI donât think one can appreciate or understand the breadth of American art unless it includes the contributions of Native Americans, Asian Americans, [and] African Americans,â says Robert, who in 2020 donated 100 pieces from their collection to Yale University, where he earned his Ph.D. in clinical community psychology. âI see part of our mission as completing or rounding out that story.â
The acquisition reflects the Steelesâ taste as collectors, favoring figurative works in striking colors and various mediums by artists like Faith Ringgold, David Driskell, Sam Gillian, and Joyce Scott. The couple met in 1967 while attending Episcopal theological school, and themes related to spirituality, social justice, and Black history run throughout the collection. Jacob Lawrenceâs Forward Together, an expressive silkscreen that inspired the exhibitionâs title, pays homage to Harriet Tubman. Ringgoldâs Somebody Stole My Broken Heart depicts the psychedelic exuberance of a jazz club.
HoMAâs director and CEO, Halona Norton-Westbrook, calls the Steelesâ gift âtransformational,â stressing not only the diversity of the collection but the intimate nature of how it came together. âThat component of how they collect through building friendships and relationships with artistsâit lends this depth to it,â Norton-Westbrook says. âThereâs something extremely special about a collection that grows out of personal relationships with artists that have been built over time.â
The Steeles cultivated many of those relationships while Robert served as the executive director of the University of Marylandâs David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora, from 2002 to 2012. (Prior, he was a professor and dean at the universityâs College of

Behavior and Social Sciences.) It was a unique position for someone who had never taken an art history class, yet Robertâs personal history of art collecting proved he was up to the task. Over the decades, the Steeles embarked on a self-directed education in the arts, joining collectorsâ clubs, attending lectures, scouring catalogs and art books, and visiting artistsâ studios. In 2012, the Driskell Center launched âSuccessions,â a traveling show that featured 62 prints from the Steelesâ collection. The show garnered Robert, who deemed Driskell âthe father of African American art history,â national attention.
The Steeles moved to Oâahu in 2016, where their daughter lived and where Jeanâs mother was born and raised. Itâs a connection dating back to 1852, when Jeanâs great-great-grandfather emigrated there from Portugal. While growing up in California, Hawaiâi references peppered Jeanâs household. âIf a picture on the wall wasnât straight, it was kapakahi (crooked),â she says. âWe had all these words and place names.â In 2020, Jean and Robert visited HoMAâs â30 Americans.â It featured works by 30 contemporary artists, which included Mickalene Thomas, Kara Walker, and Carrie Mae Weems, connected through their African American cultural history. The show impressed the couple, and they began speaking with the museum about expanding the African American artists represented in its permanent collection. The conversations eventually prompted HoMAâs director of curatorial affairs, Catherine Whitney, to make

the trip to survey the bulk of the Steelesâ collection, which numbered in the hundreds and sat in a temperaturecontrolled storage facility in Maryland.
The Steeles admit that itâs hard to part with certain pieces from their collectionânearly each one triggers an anecdote or distinct memoryâbut after 55 years of collecting, they were already in the process of deaccessioning. Itâs also not lost on them that HoMAâs acquisition brings them physically closer to their collection. âThereâs an appeal of having some of these pieces close by,â Jean says, chuckling. âNow we can actually go see them.â
The real collection, anyway, is hanging in the coupleâs condo, including an original artwork by Ringgold that Robert was gifted after retiring from the Driskell Center. It features an illustration of Robertâs face looking skyward, backgrounded by a watermelon motif. (In addition to art, stamps, and coins, Robert also has an affinity for watermelon-themed objects.) Framing the piece is a message from the artist in the style of her signature story quilts: âRainmaker that you are, youâve made the Driskell Center a star. And your art collection is unique and still growing as we speak.â

Makerspaces emerged from the maker movement of the mid-â90s, when computer programmers and amateur hackers converged at communal spaces to exchange ideas and share tools. Over the decades, the movement grew beyond its tech-oriented beginnings to include makers of every métier, from hobbyists to savants. Makerspaces, too, evolved to encompass a wider breadth of disciplines. Today, makers can tap into a diverse ecosystem of fabrication laboratories, communal artist studios, and small business incubators. No matter the niche, though, their founding ethos remains. They foster a democratic sense of creativity by circumventing the barriers, such as money and access, that traditionally gatekeep industries. With Hawaiâiâs high cost of living and finite real estate, the necessities to support oneâs craftâa studio space, proper equipmentâare out of reach for many local creatives. Thankfully, the islandsâ creative minds can find their footing at Honoluluâs makerspaces, where âmade for locals, by localsâ takes on new meaning.

The concept for Ourspace came together over game night. During a round of a questions-based card game, the prompt âWhat can we build together?â spurred an earnest

conversation between founder Darren âDyoâ Yomogida and his friends.
The group lamented the closing of Oahu Makerspace, a cooperative craft studio that offered access to equipment too costly for most individual artists. When it shuttered in 2019, dozens of makers were suddenly without a means to create.
The loss was personal for Yomogida, a jeweler and watchmaker, as he knew the price of being an independent creative. âItâs hard to get stuff here,â Yomogida says, referencing the high cost of transporting materials to Hawaiâi.
Itâs a challenge that often prevents artists from staying in the

islands, adds Nina Faye Lin, Ourspaceâs interim executive director. âI think it makes people a little bit more scrappy, more resourceful, with what theyâre making and how theyâre making it,â she says. âOr it causes them to move away.â
Launched in 2023 by Yomogida, Lin, and a crew of professional creatives, the nonprofit OurspaceâHawaiâiâs first hybrid production and incubation studioâtakes the traditional makerspace model and retools it for Hawaiâiâs community of small businesses and burgeoning artists. Here, makers have access to a host of machinery and equipment on which they can experiment with product design and branding, without the cost of outsourcing production: a desktop CNC mill for 3D printing prototypes, laser cutters and engravers to design product branding, a large plotter and wide-format printer for art prints and wall vinyls. (Ourspace regularly supplies wall vinyls for art exhibitions at Kaio Space in Chinatown; merchandise for CreativeMornings Honolulu, a monthly breakfast series for the creative community; and signage for local design studio Marlowe Furnishings.)
To empower makers with a DIY sensibility, the nonprofit also offers one-on-one training on its production software and equipment. Community manager Lauren Hana Chai, an artist who originally came to Ourspace as a client in need of art prints and stickers, is now helping to further shape this community-oriented approach, which includes a creative exchange program aimed at increasing access for creatives across income levels, allowing makers to offer skills and services in exchange for use of the space.
In 2023, Ourspace left its temporary site in Kakaâakoâs Entrepreneurs Sandbox in search of a permanent and more spacious venue, where it will expand its services to include a photo studio and individual workspaces. For now, Yomogida stores some of the machines in his studio at Fishcake, bringing members together and publicizing Ourspaceâs services through workshops and events around town.

Maura Fujihira first opened Fishcake as a furniture store in 2007, gradually expanding it into a platform for creatives ranging from makers of home decor and jewelry to tattoo artists and hair stylists. âWe always had the

In keeping with this ethos, Fishcake has evolved beyond its retail origins in recent years, starting with the culinary incubator space
Fishcafé. The idea took shape postpandemic, when former tenant
BoxJelly moved to its own location, leaving its adjoining café space empty. Seeing its potential, Fujihira chose to continue operating the café on site and expand it into a test kitchen for micro food businesses.

Some of Hawaiâiâs most notable artists have been members of Honolulu Printmakers, one of the oldest printmaking collectives in the country.
sushi by Honobono to upscale local cuisine from C4. Here, maverick restaurateurs are afforded a testing ground for dishes and a low-cost way to build clientele. The concept has proven successful for many a Fishcafé maker: Bread Service, a small-batch artisanal bakery that began vending at Fishcafé in early 2024, now sells out of several pop-up locations, including Try Coffee at Ward and Howzit Brewing in Kakaâako.
At the other end of the Fishcake showroom is Fishschool, an artist studio and education space led by independent creatives. In 2020, Fishcake was donated a kiln by its neighbor, designer Andrew Mau. Ceramicist Jun Funahashi began teaching ceramics courses in the space and enlisted fellow artist Dane Nakama to offer instruction in drawing and painting. Studio director Joy Sanchez recalls that in Fishschoolâs infancy, its teaching space was just a room with plastic tables and tiny buckets of glaze, hosting classes just three times a month. Now, Fishschool has 30 teachers on its roster who lead up to 15 classes a month. The studio is also home to independent ceramicists who take advantage of Fishschoolâs kiln and pottery wheel.
In true makerspace fashion, members are encouraged to work alongside each other. âI see it as a community space more than an education space,â Sanchez says. âI want people to know that they can come here, and itâs safe to mess up, to learn.â
Honolulu Printmakers
Operating out of an unassuming space in Chinatown is Honolulu Printmakers, one of the oldest community print shops in the country. For nearly a century, the organization has nurtured a community of emerging and seasoned creatives, including some of Hawaiâiâs most notable artists. Its founding members include former Honolulu Museum of Art director John Kelly and French muralist Jean Charlot, and artists Pegge Hopper and Masami Teraoka are among its long-time supporters. âWeâre deeply enmeshed in the community in a very significant way for lots of people, not just the printmaking artists, which is a very niche community,â says executive director Denise Karabinus.

More than just physical workspaces, makerspaces are sanctuaries for creatives who embody the spirit of collaboration.
service a yearly membership of 140 printmakers. On any given day, youâll see a handful of printmakers perfecting their etchings or searching for the perfect shade of ink. The studio is entirely self-run by its members. âEspecially in the small spaces we all live in, nobody can really affordâor has the space forâa printmaking press,â Karabinus says. âItâs like joining a gym, but for artists. You come in and you find all these people there who are ready to encourage you and support you.â
The studio also hosts public classes in mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock printing), Native Hawaiian kapa making, and more. Six exhibitions are hosted in the space each year, including the organizationâs renowned annual juried exhibition. Winning artists receive prize money and purchase recommendations for the Art in Public Places collection of the Hawaiâi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, a âcatalyst to keep moving their art forward,â Karabinus says. âYouâre really a part of something much bigger when youâre a Honolulu printmaker.â

On the North Shore, a farmer is growing bananas in a wild way.
Gabe Sachter-Smith grew his first banana plant at 13. His mom had ordered the cutting from a specialty banana farm in South Florida to satisfy his budding curiosity. It was a Musa ornata, or rose banana, beloved by gardeners for its crimson-hued florals. Sachter-Smith tried to grow it in the family sunroom amid the heat of a Colorado summer in hopes that it would mimic the tropical climes of its origin. The plant promptly died, languishing without the benefit of leaves or roots.
Undeterred, he ordered another cutting, this time a Dwarf Cavendish. It was a stout little tree that proved more durable than its predecessor. Soon, the 100-square-foot, two-story sunroom was filled with hundreds of plants sourced from online banana forums and specialty farms. They flourished under Sachter-Smithâs growing skills, helped along by an assembly of space heaters and grow lightsâhis personal tropical banana farm in the middle of Colorado.

Sachter-Smithâs obsession grew from an eighth-grade bet, when his classmates wouldnât believe that the fruit didnât grow on trees. He scoured the internet for evidence to prove them wrong. In the process, he realized that there was more to bananas than what he saw at the supermarket. âThe truth of the matter is, Iâm just inexplicably drawn to learning about and working with bananas,â he says. âI donât know why.â

C CULTURE Bananas
Eventually, his ambitions outgrew his familyâs sunroom, and in 2007 he moved to Hawaiâi to study tropical plant and soil sciences at the University of Hawaiâi at MÄnoa. At every opportunity, he made bananas the focus of his projects. By junior year, the department knew him as âBanana Gabeââa moniker that has stuck, even years later.
In his 20s, Sachter-Smith traveled across Southeast Asia and the South Pacific to study tropical varieties and learned that, outside of the Western world, bananas are more than just a breakfast food. In many cultures, the fruit is commonly found in every meal; in some communities, the word âbananaâ is also used to refer more generally to food.
Itâs perhaps inconceivable to those in America, where despite the thousands of banana varieties that exist worldwide, grocery stores typically only sell one: the yellow Cavendish, favored by exporters for its highyield, long ripening window, and attractive look on supermarket shelves. Today, Cavendish is the most widely exported banana variety. Decades-long monoculture, though, has left the crop vulnerable to diseases.
For a time, Sachter-Smith ran a booth for Counter Culture Organic Farm at Kakaâako Farmers Market, where he could be found, over jars of kimchi and baskets overflowing with carrots and kale, waxing poetic about Counter Cultureâs 40-acre farm in Haleâiwa. It was founded by Rob Barreca, a software developerturned-urban agriculturalist. In 2017, when Barreca had his hands full building Farm Link Hawaiâi, an online marketplace enabling Oâahu customers to order directly from local farmers, he asked Sachter-Smith, his friend and mentor, to take over the farm.
Sachter-Smith agreed, on the one condition that they someday grow a banana enterprise. During the pandemic, the farmâs wholesale orders dropped as Farm Link Hawaiâiâs sales soared. Barreca, entrenched in his startup, gave Sachter-Smith free rein, with a simple directive: Go bananas.
At Hawaiâi Banana Source, the farmâs new iteration, some 150 banana varieties are cultivated under Sachter-Smithâs helm. Among rows of swaying banana stalks grow wild cultivars, including a dozen Hawaiian varieties such as iholena, whose long fruits are starchy and plantain-like when cooked, and the endangered âeleâele, thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 2004. The farm also doubles as Sachter-Smithâs laboratory, where he experiments with rare cultivars and hybrids in attempts to create the perfect specimen.

Most are familiar with the yellow Cavendish banana commonly found at grocery stores, but thousands of wild and wonderful varieties grow worldwide.
He admits that itâs rare for a banana farmer to also be a breeder: âI am the only person I know doing all the things I do with bananas.â In the nursery, a peek under the lid of a bathtub-sized bin reveals an assortment of new banana varieties he has hybridized. âI am constantly making more, selecting keepers and tossing most of them,â he says. âI probably have around 200 to 300 at the moment.â
At present, Sachter-Smith is developing a banana plant that could be grown by anyone in the tropics, even in a pot on their lÄnai. âMy ideal plant would be about five or six feet tall,â he says, for more convenient growing. It would be ready to harvest within six months, with a lighter yield than that of common varieties but a more frequent fruiting schedule. âInstead of growing 50 pounds of bananas once a year, youâd have five pounds ten times a year,â he says.
In the meantime, his customers are content with the varieties, rare or otherwise, that he is already cultivatingâhappy, no doubt, any time Banana Gabe debuts the latest fruits of his labor.

In the beginning of my sonâs life, his hands moved like entities separate from himself, flapping like anxious, flitting terns trying to make sense of the world around him. As he got older, I watched his arms settle. Moving with intention, he discovered how to play. He held objects, puzzles, and toy cars and turned them over in his hands, his understanding of the world growing with each playful encounter. He brought me playthings and watched how I reacted. He reached for me and, elated, clutched at me when I reached back for him.

This on-the-go papamÅ« board from the company Hawaiian Checkers comes with âiliâili playing stones, pictured here wrapped in a lauaâe-patterned bandana from Salvage Public alongside Hawaiian heirloom bracelets by HIE.
A child playing is a child becoming. Through him, I remembered that games are more than just idle pastimes. They are an exchange of meaning, a language all their own, cultivated from a shared history. After 20 years of adulthood, I had forgotten all of that.
Itâs hard, after all, to remember exactly how I spent my own childhood moments of play. But through the foggy stretches of time, little glimpses of clarity emerge: getting filthy racing barefoot through the school field, puffing with pride when I beat the boys to the finish line. To decide who would race whom, there were the obligatory duels of jan ken po, a colloquialized name for the game of rock, paper, scissors that we thought was Hawaiâiâs own.
As an adult, I learned that jan ken po was imported to Hawaiâi by Japanese plantation workers, who first came to the islands in 1885. Once here, janken, as it was known in Japan, was adopted by Hawaiâiâs multicultural residents, and the original song of âjankenpon, aiko deshoâ evolved into the pidginized âjan ken po, I can showâ chant that was ubiquitous throughout my childhood. In elementary school, though, we didnât know any of that. You just knew the game without knowing why or how, one of the subtle ways immigrant cultures have woven themselves into a distinct Hawaiâi identity. We only knew it as something

68 C CULTURE Games
shared and understood by our classmates, as ingrained in us as any other game that proliferated the playgrounds and schoolyards. As girls we would sit on the ridged concrete lÄnai outside of our fifth-grade classroom, staining our shorts on the ancient, crimson dirt caked in the pavement as we passed string figures back and forth in a game of catâs cradle. Together we learned how to weave sculptural designs, plucking the stringâdelicately, delicatelyâfrom someone elseâs fingers to create some new fractal delight as we passed the time during recess.
As an adult, I learned that these string figures are among the oldest games in history, found in first-century Greek monographs and Edo-period woodblock prints. To Native Hawaiians, it was known as hei, and its complex string figures and slip tricks were accompanied by chants. They functioned as mnemonic devices through which the islandsâ history could be recorded with no written language. Hei, much like hula, recounted myths, legends, and genealogiesâmanifold stories told through the deft slips and weaves of string across fingers.
Some years, we took school trips far afield, spirited away from the red clay of Oâahuâs central plains to Hawaiâi Islandâs little bays, silence, and deep history. There, papamÅ«âthose ancient board games carved from rockâstood solemnly near the shoreline. The game, kÅnane, was one of tactics, a simulation of war not unlike checkers and played by great warriors and chiefs to hone their battlefield stratagems. It was said that King Kamehameha I, who united the islands under his rule and brought about Hawaiâiâs monarchical dynasty, could defeat an opponent in just one move. As kids, we wrestled for spots around the rocks and made up the rules as we went, unaware of the history embedded within those stone slabs.
Today I canât help but wonder, âWhere are the games now?â Unlike the journey of becoming I see in my sonâs games, growing up feels like an excruciating un-becomingâa fracturing into many small pieces. Grief and disappointment, divorce and despair, loss and insecurity: adulthood is often nothing like a game and feels instead like a transformation in which playfulness has no place.
Or does it? Perhaps embedded in the games of my childhood is an instructiveness that manifests as tools later in life, helping adult-me fight her battles, make decisions, and create meaning and beauty out of nothingness, even in the most unplayful of places.

MÅâÄ«okekai Edwards is dressed in Salvage Publicâs Naval shirt for a game of kÅnane on the papamÅ« stone board at SALT at Our Kakaâako.
Jan ken po is Hawaiâiâs version of rock, paper, scissors, colloquialized from the Japanese equivalent, janken , brought to the islands during plantation times.
And if those games once ushered my childhood self into maturityâwith all of its social norms and mores, its strategies and complex choicesâcould it do the opposite? Could it lead me back to a version of myself that is content to play in the red earth, weave magic from the mundane, or find joy in a simple game of jan, ken, po? If so, then there is wisdom in those flashes of nostalgia ignited in me as I watch my son go through his own becoming. For woven into those seemingly trivial childhood gamesâour oldest teachers and lovesâare formative lessons that continue to play out as I make my way through the game of life.

When wildfires ravaged West Maui in late summer of 2023, they would go on to be the deadliest in recent American history. From the ashes arose a longing to rememberâto commemorate those lost, to recall the stories of places once brimming with life, to honor a vibrant history forever marked by tragedy. Some sites now exist only in memory: famed Front Street with its vestiges of Lahainaâs past as the royal capital of Hawaiâi; the islandâs oldest Christian church, claimed along with three Japanese Buddhist temples. In these snapshots from before and after the blaze, local photographers capture what remains: the soul of West Maui, a community united in spirit and a land with a boundless capacity to heal.

When given the choice, I like to arrive in a new city at night. In the darkness, the city offers itself to you in glimpses, doling out its charms in flickers of light, like a femme fataleâs entrance in a film noir. In Istanbulâs case, it was a glimpse of Taksim Square, slicked with rain, where I was initially deposited from the airport, then a wide lane lined with kebab shops, funneling into the narrow, labyrinthine streets of the hilltop Cihangir neighborhood. Before bed, a small taste of my surroundings: a meal of fat figs and tiny dumplings heaped with yogurt, seasoned with the anticipation of seeing a city that we were once thwarted from.

E ESCAPES Istanbul
A few years ago, a friend and I had booked flights to Istanbul as the culmination of a month-long trip through Portugal and Morocco. But at some point during our travels, the presidents of the U.S. and Turkey had a spat, and we were denied entry into Turkey when we attempted to board our plane from Paris to Istanbul. Weâll try again someday, we reassured ourselves. But then we had our own spat and falling out. The pandemic hit shortly after, and then she had a baby. Istanbul seemed to be on hold indefinitely. And then one day it wasnât. She was to join me in the city later that evening.
In the early hours of dawn, when the adhan called and the darkness lifted, Istanbul revealed what we missed during our nocturnal arrival: the Bosphorus Strait in the distance, a city skyline pierced with the towering, slender minarets of Ottoman mosques. It was then we realized our plans extended no further than simply getting to Istanbul.
Iâm embarrassed to admit that we didnât see all the requisite sights. We lined up for the Hagia Sophia and briefly joined the hordes at the Grand Bazaar, but we mostly wandered the cityâs streets, poking into modern boutiques and vintage shops, and spent hours in the luxury of uninterrupted conversation over expansive Turkish breakfasts, at baklava emporiums, at meyhanes where the servers apologized for tables that were available for âonlyâ two hours. We fell into a stupor of post-pampered bliss at CaÄaloÄlu Hamam, one of the cityâs most resplendent Turkish baths, built in 1741, where bathing attendants had guided us by the hand to a heated marble slab, lathered us in olive-oil soap, and washed our hair with linden shampoo. We relished the time capsule of 1924 Istanbul, a Russian restaurant established by émigrés that fled the Bolshevik revolution, dining on ice-cold lemon-infused vodka and beef stroganoff in an opulent room paneled with dark wood and mirrors.
A friend who has lived in Turkey for eight years shepherded us through her favorite places in Istanbul: Sehzade Erzurum Cag Kebabi, a kebab shop where skewered lamb is draped with lavash as diaphanous as a silk handkerchief, and Lezzet i Åark, which offers cheese-stuffed knafeh drenched in sugar syrup and prepared over coals. She took us on a ferry to the cityâs Asian side, to Kadıköy market, before we escaped the rain into Wayana wine bar to sample Turkish wines made from native grapes. And then, with little room in our stomachs, we headed to Ãiya Sofrasi, an unassuming

restaurant where the proprietorâa past feature on Netflixâs Chefâs Table âis considered more of a culinary anthropologist than a chef for his efforts to preserve recipes in danger of disappearing. A counter filled with more than a dozen warm pots and trays offered up dishes like lamb stewed with quince and pomegranate juice, and stuffed sheep intestine, and, for dessert, crisp slices of candied pumpkin.
It is hard for me to make sense of my brief time in Istanbulâbut perhaps with just a week, it is only possible to see the city in glimpses. It is, after all, a city spread across two continents; of a population almost twice that of New York City at 15 million people, more than a third of whom are migrants; and with a history that stretches back to the Byzantine eraâthe very origin of the term byzantineâbut has seen rapid Westernization.
In this city, I saw men walk around with pinpricks of blood dotted across their scalps from hair transplants, and in a corner of an open-air market where pet food and pet pigeons are sold, I observed a woman haggle with a vendor for leeches to treat her ailments. There were the famously spoiled stray cats of Istanbul, napping on top of stacks of records,

warming themselves on the seat of a motorbike, crowding outside of a pet store, waiting to be fed. There was the Museum of Innocence, which Turkeyâs famous writer Orhan Pamuk conceived in concert with his novel of the same nameâeach exhibit corresponding with a chapter in the book. Before the entrance is Pamukâs museum manifesto, attesting that âthe ordinary, everyday stories of individuals are richer, more humane, and much more joyfulâ than âhistorical narratives of a society.â
And maybe this is why I donât feel so guilty for eschewing the monuments for long conversations with my friend in quotidian spaces, for picking up where we left off in our travels and lives much altered. There was only one landmark that we spent hours withâthe Bosphorus Strait. The public ferry took us along its path to the Black Sea, languorously passing historical mosques and palaces. The water had a way of calming the frenzy of the city, reminding us that it has outlasted all of the buildings, the empires that erected them, the lives within and those yet to come.

Tokyo native Nae Ogawa grew up around a family dinner table supplied with fresh fish her dad caught and produce her mom grew and foraged. Eventually, Ogawa began adding her own touches, picking wild mushrooms and chestnuts or making umeboshi with plums from their tree. It soon grew into a love of cooking that would later thrust Ogawa into Tokyoâs world-class kitchens. At 18, she began studying at Tokyoâs Hattori Nutrition College, among the top culinary schools in Japan. The collegeâs emphasis on shokuiku, a holistic approach to whole foods pioneered by

a Japanese doctor, meant that students were trained as both chefs and nutritionists. It left a lasting impression on Ogawa, who went on to work at Narisawa, a two-star Michelin restaurant in Tokyo with a focus on sustainable dishes; Manhattanâs upscale restaurant Bouley, whose approach to French nouvelle cuisine helped usher in the farm-to-table movement; and La Bourse et La Vie, a Parisian bistro known for French classics made with fresh, quality ingredients.
In 2017, she moved to Honolulu to become the opening sous chef at Paris Hawaii, which blended Parisian, Japanese, and Hawaiâi cuisine. The restaurant shuttered in 2020âa casualty of the pandemic but a blessing for Ogawa, who was soon tapped by Zetton Inc., the restaurant group that launched Paris Hawaii, to lead a new enterprise in the former restaurantâs WaikÄ«kÄ« space. At first, Ogawa had her doubts. âI was super good at [being a] sous chef, supporting somebody, and I was happy with it,â she says. But Zetton presented an offer she couldnât refuse. As the new executive chef, she had carte blanche to reconceptualize the restaurant and create her own dishes.
Enter Nature Waikiki, whose menu reflects Ogawaâs Japanese upbringing, French culinary training, and love for nature. Each dish highlights at least one ingredient from local farms: a cheese platter features chÚvre from Sweet Land Farm in Waialua; the harvest saladâs medley of root vegetables is grown at Kahumana Organic Farms in Waiâanae. And she utilizes invasive animals such as taâape (blue striped snapper) and axis deer in efforts to mitigate their negative impacts on the local ecosystem and demonstrate to guests how their food choices directly impact the environment. As she crafts new dishes, including a tasting menu that changes with the seasons, Ogawa routinely turns to nature for inspiration: âWhen I feel that the ingredients I choose have a positive impact on farmers or the environment, I feel a sense of fulfillment in what I do, and it motivates me.â

âItâs so sad to see no Indonesian restaurant here,â says Jakarta native Regina Lapian, who longs to one day expand her Hawaiâi catering business into a brick-and-mortar Indonesian eatery.
private chef clientele, Lapian met Maya Soetoro-Ng, the maternal half-sister of former president Barack Obama. Soetoro-Ng, who works as a peace and leadership scholar at the University of Hawaiâi at MÄnoaâs Matsunaga Institute, was born in Jakarta and found the tastes of her heritage reflected in Lapianâs cooking. With its colorful dishes full of spices and fresh ingredients, Lapianâs classic Indonesian fare, including dishes such as beef rendang, gado gado, nasi goreng, and pandan klepon, summoned authentic Jakarta cuisine to Hawaiâi.
Soetoro-Ng soon became like a sister to Lapian, and today Soetoro-Ng remains one of her biggest supporters. Through the years, she has arranged for Lapian to cater some of the Obamasâ more high-profile Hawaiâi engagements, including Michelle Obamaâs birthday at the Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design in 2022 and the 2018 Obama Foundation conference at the East-West Center, where Lapianâs dishes were served alongside local restaurant titans Alan Wong, Ed Kenney, and Andrew Le. Lapian also regularly caters events for the Matsunaga Institute, Soetoro-Ngâs Ceeds of Peace organization, and visiting Indonesian dignitaries. Still, Lapian never forgets her origins: âI feel like cooking for a good cause helps me give back to our community and connect to good people.â

Robynne Maiâi
When Fête chef and co-owner Robynne Maiâi won the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Northwest and Pacific, the first Native Hawaiian female chef to receive the honor, the timing could not have been better. The pandemic had hit Hawaiâiâs food industry hard and almost shuttered the restaurant, a fixture of Honoluluâs Chinatown since 2016. The award brought worldly acclaim to Fête, drawing in a new crowd of acolytes.
The road to success, however, wasnât an easy one. Despite an impressive résumé that includes cooking at famed restaurants, working as an assistant food editor for Gourmet magazine, and co-running the culinary program at the Art Institute of New York City, Maiâi still faced sexism when she moved back home to Hawaiâi from New York to open Fête. âFor the first three years, it was constant,â she says. âWhen youâre female and little and Asian, people make a lot of assumptions.â
Undeterred, Maiâi pressed on. After all, Fête had become her lifeâs purpose. After years of struggling with infertility, she and her husband and co-owner, Chuck Bussler, decided to instead birth a restaurant in Maiâiâs hometown of Honolulu. Today, Fêteâwhich Maiâi and Bussler fondly call their hapa babyâhas become a local culinary institution celebrated for its seasonal, farm-to-table approach. The vast majority of Fêteâs menu

is sourced from farms, fisheries, and ranches across the state, an ethos of mutual support borne from Maiâiâs years of being underestimated as a female chef. âYou have the easy part,â she constantly reminds herself. âThe hard part of the gig is done already.â
Now, two years after winning the James Beard Award, Maiâi is ready to hand the reins to new executive chef Emily Iguchi and shift her focus to opening a second Chinatown location: a bakery and pastry shop in the former Little Village Noodle House space around the corner from Fête. Because in the end, even with all her newfound acclaim, the simple act of cooking is still what brings Maiâi the greatest sense of fulfillment. âI really like the physicality and challenge of working with the food every single day,â she says. âItâs like yoga or being outside in natureâworking with local ingredients is very close to that. Itâs sort of like a wakeful meditation.â
