Hon Leaf House
p. 49 · Read in the full issue
A fully-furnished and equipped leaf house will be the focal point of a Solomons pavilion at the exhibition of ocean culture to be staged next year at EXPO in Okinawa. The Japanese Government will ship build ing materials from the Solomons plus 10 experts from the Lau Lagoon, North Malaita, to erect it.
It’s also hoped to display a West ern Solomons war canoe, probably the one used during the Queen’s visit in February. The government is taking no chances with its valuable artefacts.
Export licences will have to be obtained and guarantees given that they will be looked after while out of the country.
