Bhutanese Textiles
In a wooden house in Khoma, a village tucked into the mountains of eastern Bhutan, a woman sits cross-legged on the floor with one end of her loom strapped around her waist and the other anchored to a post. She has been weaving the same length of silk for four months. When she finishes, somewhere around month ten, it will become a kishuthara, the most prized kira a Bhutanese woman can own. It will likely be worn at her daughter’s wedding decades from now.
Archery in Bhutan
On a Sunday in any Bhutanese town, you can hear an archery match before you see it. The sounds carry. There is the slap of an arrow hitting a wooden target, followed almost immediately by singing. A small group of women, dressed in bright kira, are improvising verses about the archer who just shot, sometimes praising him, often teasing him about his stance, his strategy, or his marriage. The archer, holding a bamboo bow with another arrow already in his fingers, is laughing along with them.
