Music
Kawuiian music is generally divided into two eras. The Isolationist Era is generally recorded from the arrival of the first inhabitants in the ~3000’s BCE, to the War of Unification in the mid-1700’s. This era is defined by heavy amounts of percussion and vocal instrumentals. The following era, most commonly called the Foreign Era, is defined by the incorporation of foreign instruments, most notably in the strings and woodwinds.
Theatre
Film
The Kawuiian film industry is a fledgling economic sector that has been growing. It is centered in Kauilana, and is especially known for its symbolism and thrillers. Despite this fact, the film industry has also produced more romantic and dramatic films.
Cuisine
Kawuiian cuisine is heavily influenced by the marine organisms around the islands, and the natural flora of the islands. Most Kawuiian dishes will include fish of some form.
Sport
Many of the most popular sports in Kawui are more traditional in nature. One popular sport, kuseipatei is a form of martial arts focused upon the use of wooden staffs to beat an opponent also armed with a staff. In the most traditional varieties, the two will fight until one can no longer fight, or until the other concedes defeat. Other traditional sports, like kuseipatei, are heavily war focused arts which often include traditional Kawuiian martial arts.
Despite this, many foreign sports are growing in popularity.
