Knowing Bhutanese textile: (kishuthara)




Origin:
In late 600 AD the Chinese wife of Tibetan king Songtsen Gembo, Ashi Jaza, introduced the most popular belief the loom and weaving traditional wear in Bhutan. The most popular design kishuthara highly intricate weave originated from Khoma village in eastern Bhutan. Legend has it the design Kishuthara was tweeted by a bird when Ashi Jaza was wondering about a design. The bird tweeted; “chi tu nee nan, nee thu seum nan”(“pick one add two, pick two add three”) kishuthara -tema design was thus born.
Weaving was known to be a prophecy an art only few could master especially kishuthara, not all kurtoep (people from eastern Bhutan) but only few knew how to weave. Weavers where never poverty-stricken nor had to plead, weaving was necessary art only few could perfect the art of kishuthara.
Textiles are not only symbols of wealth for Bhutanese it is also a social status and to this day peoples worth are often based on clothes they wear. The popularity of the textiles thrived as the ruling Wangchuck dynasty came from a renowned weaving region, kurtoe. As the dynasty moved westward in a quest for stronger and unified Bhutan in mid-nineteen century, the art of Bhutanese textile and the techniques flourished throughout the kingdom.

Fly on the wings of Dragon Football


Bhutan Vs.  Hong Kong
Bhutan after surprising Sri Lankha and the world of football, setting a new bench mark for the future that holds for Bhutan has yet another difficult task handed to them in their attempt to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia after being paired with China, Hong Kong, Maldives and Qatar.
  
The tiny Himalayan nation, which started the first round of qualifiers as the world’s worst team, according to FIFA ranking, past Sri Lankha over two legs to make it to the second round. Bhutan’s ranking has since risen from 209 to 163 but they will be up against it having been drawn in a difficult group with the world’s most populous nation and the 2022 World Cup hosts.
The 40 teams that made the second round were split into eight groups of five. Each country will play home and away against the other sides in their group. The second round starts in June and runs until March next year.
The eight group winners and the four best runners-up will advance to the next stage of World Cup qualifying in Asia. They will also qualify automatically for the 2019 Asian Cup in United Arab Emirates.
The teams that miss out will go into another phase of Asian Cup qualifiers.
