Photographer’s Note
Deeply ingrained in Fijian culture, the drinking of yaqona (aka kava, grog) is surrounded by ceremony, protocol, routine... mixed and served using a large wooden bowl called a tanoa. Depending on the guests and situation the drinking ceremony can range from being very informal to very formal, but is a part of gatherings of any kind, whether friends hanging out, meetings or making agreements, welcoming visitors, or honoring a special guest.
