Kiwiana


Ki ora, and welcome to New Zealand. We live in an isolated country which is a home to many different cultures. It is a very unique country and our kiwiana is very special to us.


The Buzzy Bee is a famous icon to New Zealand. A toy and crafts man, created the colorful wood toy sometime in the late 1930’s. New Zealanders love Buzzy Bee. It is seen internationally on stamps and magazine covers. As you can see Buzzy Bee is a treasure to lots of people in New Zealand.

Do you actually know what a tiki is? I’m guessing not. The
term tiki refers to a carved human figure and is part of Maori and
other pacific culture. It is a famous New Zealand icon.

We are very proud of our culutral country and our kiwiana. New Zealand has become more than we have hoped for and we are happy to share our country’s kiwiana with you.
