The day ends with a visit to the home of Azamat Arabov, who makes suzanis that are distributed to many of the bazaars and carpet shops around the city. A hand-embroidered jacket is enough to lift the drabbest of outfits, and an exquisite antique piece of cloth, found by Mr. Arabov, is tempting at $700. But in the end, it is the simple yet beautiful pillow cases that are the most appealing─for a princely sum of $18 apiece. Mr. Arabov turns over the antique piece delicately in his hands and muses why he left his job as an artist to start his business. 'Everything you start you have to love,' he says, 'and each piece is a different philosophy.'

游览了一整天，最后我们来到了阿扎马特·阿拉波夫(Azamat Arabov)的家拜访，他制作的刺绣品供应给布哈拉的众多集市与地毯商店。一件手工刺绣的短上衣足以让一身色彩沉闷的衣着一下有了生气。阿拉波夫发现的一块精美的古董布料的价格非常诱人，只要700美元。不过，最后看来，还是那些简单却不失精美的开口式枕套最有吸引力，只要18美元一件。阿拉波夫手里捧着那块古董布料翻过来又翻过去，一边字斟句酌地说着自己为什么会舍弃艺术家的工作而做起了生意。他说：“每件你着手去做的东西你都得喜欢，每件东西都有一种不同的理念。
