Carving for Expo ‘70 Another visit made by the Parliamentary Committee was to the Maori Arts and Crafts Institute at Whakarewarewa, where they saw the poutokomanawa being carved for the Expo ‘70 Exhibition. Here one of the carving apprentices and Mr P. Rewiti, M.P. for Eastern Maori, point out features of the carving. At the far right is Mr John Taiapa, master carver, instructor at the institute. The poutokomanawa, which would usually be in the centre of a meeting house, will be in a prominent position near the entrance of the main pavilion at Expo ‘70 in Osaka, Japan, and will be seen by millions of visitors.
