Sketches of Kaimuki

Over 35 years ago, Hitoshi Hida started working on the sketches in this book using hand-drawn pen-and-ink techniques on a 5" x7 " sketchbook. This work represents and preserves the special qualities of "Old Kaimuki," where Hida has lived for over 40 years.

Hitoshi Hida was born in Kaita, Hiroshima, Japan. His family moved to Hawaii in the summer of 1961. Hida worked professionally as an architect, but art has been one of his strongest passions since childhood.
