Ohe Kapala is a traditional Hawaiian tool used for printing designs and patterns onto fabric, often made of kapa (bark cloth). The name "Ohe Kapala" translates to "bamboo stamp" in Hawaiian, reflecting its construction material.

The designs created with an Ohe Kapala are often used in Hawaiian clothing, ceremonial attire, and other cultural artifacts. It holds a significant place in Hawaiian art and craftsmanship, with each design often carrying deep cultural or spiritual meanings related to Hawaiian heritage and beliefs.

Using the Ohe Kapala requires a careful and skilled hand, as the stamps must be applied consistently and with precision to maintain the integrity of the design. It's an important part of the preservation and continuation of Hawaiian traditions.
