Living Treasure Of Hawaiʻi
The Living Treasures of Hawaii program was created in 1976 by the Buddhist temple Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii to honor residents of Hawaii. It was inspired by the Living National Treasure (Japan), Living National Treasures of Japan award, and is awarded annually. The criteria for selection are, "First, the designee must demonstrate continuous growth in his or her field; second, the potential Living Treasure must have made significant contributions toward a more humane and fraternal society (and this perhaps is the most important criteria); and finally, he or she must have shown an on-going striving for excellence and a high level of accomplishment." Honorees are nominated by members of the general public by August 1 of each year, and chosen by a committee designated by the temple. These are the people who have been so honored. 1970s 1976 * Charles W. Kenn, Charles Kenn 1977 1978 * Theodore Kelsey 1979 1980s 1980 1981 * Solomon Kekipi Bright Sr. * ...
