The culture of thagzo (hand-loom weaving) is believed to have been prevalent in Bhutan for centuries. According to oral histories, a northern princess known to Bhutanese as Azhi Jyazu, the consort of King Songsten Gembo who built several sacred temples across the Kingdom, is believed to have gifted the art of weaving to the women of Kurtoe in Lhuentse after being moved by their hospitality.

Textiles are Bhutan’s finest art; the products show a heritage built over centuries through shared skills and personal creativity in working with fibres, dyes, weaving, sewing, and embroidery.
