Moko - Hyogo Oku

 Moko is Maori tattoo. Some Maori has Moko on not only body but also face. It has been used to identify  person's tribe, rank, achievements, role in society and so on. Also, there are some kind of Moko, for example, Moko kauae is chin tattoo for maori women.

Example sentences

1 Moko shows person's identity, like rank and tribe.

2 To get a Moko, Maori use traditional instruments.

 I sometime find people who has tattoos on face in New Zealand, and wanted to know meaning of that. That's why I choose this word. It has traditional meaning and I find there is some type of Moko in Maori culture.

    Maori tattoos are awesome! One of my host mother's Maori friends had a lovely tattoo on her arm.

Hana Taniguchi -- Peacemaker

  I agree to some extent with the result of my personality test, in which I was assessed as a steady and sympathetic. I do see myself as peaceful person and don’t want to fighting with other people because when I fight with other people, I feel so stress and lose my energy and don’t want to be hurt. But I don’t agree I am self-critical. I think I care about my thoughts.

Machi Kanada - Supervisor

Image
       My personality test result said I was a supervisor, and I think it's half accurate and half inaccurate. I do see myself as stable and practical, because when I work on something, I carefully follow the steps to make sure there are no mistakes. Also, I think it is important to follow rules properly, so I agree with the part that says I tend to get stressed when I see people not following them. However, I don't really like being a leader when working in a group, and I've never been told that I'm bossy, so I don't think that part of the result describes me. From this test result, I got the impression that supervisors are confident and like to take charge, but I don't really like that. I tend to think carefully before I speak, and I sometimes hesitate to express my opinions strongly.
