They just ran this article again in The Times newspaper out of Martinez/Contra Costa. One of the guys at work dropped it off at my desk this morning (I guess I'm now officially the "guy that's into tiki" at the office). It was pretty interesting, especially since I hadn't read the artilce before, and have just completed a pilgrimage to Oceanic Arts over New Year's weekend.

I'd post a link, but there doesn't seem to be one on their website. The article ran on Saturday Jan 21, 2006, and they edited the ending by cutting out the last two or three paragraphs, and ended the article at the part where they talk about the tiki craze in Japan in the 80's, followed by resurgence in the U.S. and Europe.
