?O nā mea a pau e pili ana i nā Lako Rattan a me Rattan

?O Rattan kahi ?ano o ka pi?i ?ana a i ?ole ka hahai ?ana i ka pāma e like me ke kumu waina i ka ululā?au o Asia, Malaysia, a me Kina. ?O kekahi o nā kumu nui loa ?o ka Philippines1. Hiki ke ?ike ?ia ?o Palasan rattan e kona mau kumu pa?a pa?a e ?oko?a ana mai ka 1 a 2 iniha ke anawaena a me kona mau kumu waina, e ulu ana a hiki i 200 a 500 kapua?i.

Ke ?ohi ?ia ka lā?au, ?oki ?ia i 13 kapua?i ka lō?ihi, a wehe ?ia ka pu?u malo?o. Ho?omalo?o ?ia kona mau kumu i ka lā a mālama ?ia no ka ho?oulu ?ana. A laila, ho?opololei ?ia kēia mau pou rattan lō?ihi, helu ?ia e ke anawaena a me ka maika?i (e ho?oholo ?ia e kona mau nodes; ?oi aku ka li?ili?i o nā internodes, ?oi aku ka maika?i), a ho?ouna ?ia i nā mea hana lako. Ho?ohana ?ia ka ?ili waho o ka Rattan no ke ?oki ?ana, ?oiai ?o kona ?āpana e like me ka ?ohe i ho?ohana ?ia no ka ulana ?ana i nā lako wicker. ?O Wicker ke ka?ina ulana, ?a?ole he mea kanu maoli a i ?ole mea. Ho?okomo ?ia i ke Komohana i ka ho?omaka ?ana o ke kenekulia 19, ua lilo ka rattan i mea ma?amau no ka ?ō?ō ?ana2. ?O kona ikaika a me ka ma?alahi o ka manipulation (manipulability) ua lilo ia i mea kaulana loa o nā mea kūlohelohe i ho?ohana ?ia i ka wickerwork.

Nā ?ano ?o Rattan

?O kona kaulana ma ke ?ano he mea pono no nā lako - ma waho a me loko - ?a?ole maopopo. Hiki ke pi?o a ?ope, lawe ?ia ka rattan i nā ?ano curving nani. ?O kona māmā a me ke kala gula e ho?omālamalama i kahi lumi a i ?ole ka honua waho a hō?ike koke i kahi mana?o o kahi paradaiso tropical.

Ma ke ?ano he mea, ?o ka rattan ka māmā a aneane hiki ?ole ke ne?e a ma?alahi. Hiki iā ia ke pale i nā kūlana ko?iko?i o ka ha?aha?a a me ka mahana a loa?a iā ia ke kū'ē kūlohelohe i nā'okena.

He mea like anei ka Rattan a me ka ?ohe?

No ka mo?olelo, ?a?ole mai ka mea kanu a ?ano ?ano ho?okahi ka rotan a me ka ?ohe. ?O ka ?ohe he mau?u puha me nā kualono ulu ākea ma kona mau kumu. Ua ho?ohana ?ia no ke kūkulu ?ana i nā ?āpana li?ili?i o nā lako a me nā mea pono i ka hopena o ka makahiki 1800 a me ka ho?omaka ?ana o nā makahiki 1900, ?oi aku ho?i ma nā wahi wela. Ua ho?okomo kekahi mau mea hana lako ?ohe i nā pou rattan no ka ma?alahi a me ka ikaika hou.

?O Rattan i ka 20th Century

I ke ki?eki?e o ke aupuni Pelekāne i ke kenekulia 19, kaulana loa ka ?ohe a me nā mea ?ē a?e. Ua ho?i nā ?ohana i ho?onoho ?ia ma nā ?āina wela a me nā ?āina ?o ?Asia i ?Enelani me kā lākou mau lako ?ohe a me nā lako rotan, i lawe mau ?ia i loko o ka hale ma muli o ke anuanu o ?Enelani.

I ka ho?omaka ?ana o ke kenekulia 20, ua ho?omaka ka ?ike ?ia ?ana o nā lako rattan i hana ?ia e Pilipine i ?Amelika Hui Pū ?Ia, ?oiai ka po?e huaka?i i ho?iho?i mai ia mea ma nā moku mahu. Ua ho?olālā ?ia nā lako rattan o ka makahiki 20 ma ke ?ano Victorian. Ua ho?omaka nā mea ho?olālā Hollywood e ho?ohana i nā lako rattan i nā hi?ohi?ona o waho, e ho?oulu ana i ka makemake no ka hele ?ana i ke ki?i?oni?oni a me ka nānā ?ana i ke ?ano, makemake lākou i nā mea e pili ana i ka mana?o o kēlā mau mokupuni ?o South Seas. Ua hānau ?ia kekahi ?ano: E kapa ?ia ?o Tropical Deco, Hawaiiana, Tropical, Island, a i ?ole South Seas.

I ka pane ?ana i ka pi?i ?ana o ka noi no nā lako kīhāpai rattan, ua ho?omaka nā mea ho?olālā e like me Paul Frankel e hana i nā hi?ohi?ona hou no ka rattan. Loa?a ?ia ?o Frankel i ka noho pretzel-armed i makemake nui ?ia, kahi e ho?opa?a ai i ka ho?omaha lima. Ua hahai koke nā ?oihana i kūkulu ?ia ma Kaleponi Hema, me ka Tropical Sun Rattan o Pasadena, ka Hui Ritts, a me ?Ehiku Kai.

E ho?omana?o i nā lako a Ferris Bueller i noho ai i waho i ka wā o kahi ki?i?oni?oni, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" a i ?ole ka lumi ho?okipa i ho?onohonoho ?ia i ka mo?olelo TV kaulana, "The Golden Girls?" Ua hana ?ia ?elua me ka rotan, a ua ho?iho?i maoli ?ia nā ?āpana rattan vintage mai nā makahiki 1950. E like me nā lā ma mua, ?o ka ho?ohana ?ana i ka rattan vintage i nā ki?i?oni?oni, televise, a me ka mo?omeheu pop i kōkua i ka hoihoi hou ?ana i nā lako i nā makahiki 1980, a ua ho?omau ?ia ka kaulana i waena o nā ?ohi a me nā mea mahalo.

Makemake kekahi po?e ?ohi i ka ho?olālā ?ana, a i ?ole ke ?ano, o kahi ?āpana rotan, a ?o nā mea ?ē a?e e mana?o i kahi ?āpana ?oi aku ka makemake inā he nui nā ?ōpala a i ?ole "nā kaula" i ho?opa?a ?ia a ho?onohonoho pū ?ia paha, e like me ka lima a i ke kumu noho.

?O ka ho?olako ?ana i ka lālani

?Oiai ho?ohana ?ia ka rattan i nā huahana like ?ole, ?o ka mea nui ka hana ?ana i nā lako; Kāko?o ?o rattan i kahi ?oihana honua i ?oi aku ka waiwai ma mua o US $ 4 biliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e like me ka World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Ma mua, ua lawe ?ia aku ka hapa nui o nā kumu waina maka i nā mea hana ma waho. Ma ka waena na?e o ka makahiki 1980, ua ho?okomo ?o Indonesia i kahi pāpā e ho?oku?u aku i ke kumu waina rattan maka no ka paipai ?ana i ka hana ?ana i nā lako rattan.

A hiki i kēia mau lā, aneane ?ohi ?ia nā rattan a pau mai nā wao ua. Me ka luku ?ana a me ka ho?ololi ?ana o ka ululā?au, ua emi wikiwiki ka wahi noho o ka rattan i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, a ua loa?a i ka rattan ka hemahema o ka lako. ?O Indonesia a me kahi apana o Borneo nā wahi ?elua wale nō o ka honua e hana ana i ka rattan i hō?oia ?ia e ka Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). No ka mea pono i nā kumulā?au e ulu ai, hiki i ka rattan ke ho?oikaika i nā kaiāulu e mālama a ho?iho?i hou i ka nahele ma ko lākou ?āina.
