Editor’s Note:
Noa-Noa (Tahitian for "fragrance") was Gauguin's journal or notebook of the two years he spent in Tahiti (1893-4). On his return to France, Gauguin began work on a self-published project of the journal text with ten woodcut illustrations. He hoped this would make his Tahitian experience and new art more understandable to his contemporaries.
Although never realized in their intended form, both the text and the ten woodcuts for Noa-Noa survive among Gauguin's known works. More contemporary printings of Noa-Noa that include the woodcuts and original sketches and colored images from the journals pages and borders have been published.
