Ko te mea e wehewehe ana i ngā kākahu huruhuru ritenga ko tōna kaha ki te whakaata i te tirohanga ahurei a te kaimau. Mai i te whiringa kararehe—ahakoa he pokiha maeneene, he wuruhi rangatira, he tarakona whakakatakata rānei—ki ngā taipitopito iti rawa pērā i te kakano huruhuru, te tae kanohi, me ngā taputapu, ka whakaritea ia huānga. He maha ngā kaiwhaiwhai e hoahoa ana i ngā "fursonas" (ngā tāngata huruhuru) i te tuatahi, kātahi ka whakamaori i aua kiripuaki hei kākahu. Hei tauira, ko te fursona me ngā tohu whetu he mea pea he whakapaipai kanapa i roto i te pōuri, ko te kiripuaki takaro he taringa ngoikore me te hiku puhoi. Mā tēnei taumata whakawhaiaro ka huri te kākahu hei toronga ora o te auahatanga o te kaimau.

He ranunga pūkenga me te ngākau nui te hanga i tētahi kākahu huruhuru ritenga. Ka tīmata ngā tohunga toi ki ngā tuhi, ka mahi tahi me ngā kiritaki ki te whakapai ake i ia taipitopito. Ko ngā rauemi kounga teitei te mea nui: he huruhuru rūpahu kanapa i roto i ngā tae mutunga kore, he pahuka pakari hei hanga i ngā āhuatanga o te kanohi, me ngā arai manawa hei whakamarie. He maha ngā wā ka uru te tukanga ki te tuitui ā-ringa, te whakairo, me te peita hei whakatutuki i ngā āhua ora - whakaarohia he kanohi wuruhi me ngā kanohi wero, he kākahu ngeru rānei me te hiku hurihuri, ka taea te tū. Ko te hua he kākahu e kore e ātaahua noa te titiro engari he whakamarie hoki mō te mau roa i ngā huihuinga, i ngā huihuinga rānei.
