I was always curious, too, about this staple of Tiki bar decor. I have no proof, but I believe they entered Polynesian pop as part of the "Trader style", (which began with Trader Vic), and were akin to the those big Chinese-lettered bundles that some Trader Vic's had as decor.
OR: Since Don The Beachcomber started the trend with modified Chinese cuisine, maybe they were a covenient cross-over item from that theme...
