An additional question comes to mind. Are Tiki and Hawaiiana two completely different things or is Hawaiiana a subset / type of Tiki? That was a very concise question, and the simple answer could have been: Yes, Hawaiiana is a subset of Tiki, and "Tiki" is easily defined: If the image depicted does not contain a Tiki, it is not "Tiki". I have to disagree with the first part of your answer. To say that Hawaiiana is a subset of Tiki would mean that ALL of Hawaiiana is Tiki. Hawaiiana is NOT a subset of Tiki. Better to say that some of Hawaiiana intersects with Tiki.
