About Punto Kōwhiri Tatau: Kakau Tatau

Ko Punto he kakau tatau i hangaia mō ngā tatau o ia rā. Ko te āhua o Punto i ahu mai i te rangahau ki ngā kakau o mua me ō rātou āhua. Ka whai ngā rōpūtanga i tētahi ōwehenga tūmau kotahi ki te rua, ā, ko tēnei hononga te here i ngā āhuahanga katoa o te kakau. E 150 mā te 60 mā te 50 mira te rahi o Punto. Ka hangaia te kakau mā te whakarewa maka ki te konumōhē, ki te parāhi rānei. Ka whakakikoruatia ngā momo konumōhē ki te paura, engari ka whakakanapatia, ka whakakōmatia rānei ngā momo parāhi. Nā te āhua māmā ka āwhina i te kaiwhakamahi kia mārama tonu me pēhea te whakatuwhera i te tatau.
