The alley has been closed for years, owned by Kamehameha Schools, with entry access very rare if not indeed impossible now, for safety/letigeous reasons. But it's worth the effort. It will be gone before long, as the wrecking ball is inevitable and over due. It depicts the royal family and court out for fun and games in the mountain lushness, playing a form of bowling, while fish are being caught in a nearby stream for the up-coming feast, and rascal menehune snatch the catch away. Classic stuff.
