Shaping shade, one palm leaf at a time. Sun or rain, we weave.

Ankush makes japis, the traditional Assamese sun hats, from his small workshop at the back of his house in Jorhat. He worries about the rising cost of tokou palm leaves and whether his trade can sustain a family, but his joy is seeing a perfectly shaped hat dry in the morning sun, ready for a tourist or a local farmer. He lives with his parents and his income is irregular but just enough for now.

Arre, cut-off marks jumping like that, it’s a cruel joke on the kids who study hard. My own nephew missed his college seat by two marks last year—now he’s helping me split tokou leaves, and bhal, he’s learning patience, but it stings. The system tests them with numbers, not with what they can actually do with their hands or heart.
