About Rimo

The Tibetan term for drawing is Rimo, which is derived from the words ri meaning "mountains" and mo meaning "girl." This term has an interesting history and has been passed down through generations of Tibetans. A long time ago, in a place called Yarlung in central Tibet, there was a nomad family with a shepherd boy named Lukdzi Agar. He used to draw pictures of the scenery he observed on pieces of slate and stones .
