A Vital Matters Perspective: A Personal Reflection on Seeing Bulul Figures as a Child
A Personal Reflection on Seeing Bulul Figures as a Child
Armand Camhol shares a personal reflection on a childhood memory of seeing bulul figures inside a family rice granary. He recalls visiting his grandfather’s granary on his mother’s side and noticing the bulul watching them, even though they didn’t fully understand what the figures were or what they represented at the time. He describes how these figures were not just part of the granary structure, but a common presence throughout Ifugao society, where many households with rice fields kept bulul inside their granaries.
