This Matariki design tea towel is the perfect purchase - stylish design, necessary and inexpensive and easy to post to loved ones.
Matariki is a cluster of stars visible low in the North East sky just before dawn. Matariki’s appearance in midwinter signals the start of the Māori New Year. Matariki is relatively close to earth, a mere 440 light years away! The Matariki cluster is visible in other parts of the world, and is also known as Pleiades, Seven Sisters and Subaru.
Matariki is the star that signifies reflection, hope, our connection to the environment, and the gathering of people. Matariki is also connected to the health and wellbeing of people.
