The Weaving Craft of the Lu ethnics

For generations, the Lu people in Ban Hon commune, Tam Duong district, Lai Chau province, have regarded traditional brocade weaving as a measure of the skill and capability of women. Therefore, the traditional brocade weaving frame is an indispensable tool in Lu households.
