This research is aimed to explore Druku people’s cultural shift in the colonial encounter with Japanese empire by a “body history” approach. Through the dynamic process of disembodied / embodied, the disappearance and transformation of Druku’s traditional body techniques is done in tandem with colonial Empire’s bringing new body techniques. Several important aspects embodied the great shift in Druku’s culture and the cultural break-off between generations have been explored. They are, for instance, the symbolic, productive, medical, and religious system.
