Organizing basket -Oval- with handles S, M, L / Kachū / THA 3115101 タイ/カチュー(水草) 整理かご 楕円 取手付き S･M･L 3サイズ
These are woven baskets made from a grass called “Kachū” in Thai, which grows wild around swamps. This page features three sizes of oval organizing baskets with handles, “S, M, L”, made of “Kachū”.
Flattened stems are alternately woven together to form one large piece, which is then formed into the shape of a basket.After being woven like a Kachū mat and formed into a basket, this rim is folded back to the outside and tucked in. This is an especially important process because the finish of the rim determines the strength and quality of the entire basket.This is a shot taken from the underside of the rim, with the basket upside down. The rim is folded back and tucked snugly into the side of the basket.The handles are made from “Kok”, a Cyperaceae group grass. Kok is made into a rope and used as a handle.The mouth is oval, but the bottom is rectangular. Kok tying can be seen at the four corners.Since the basket does not bulge much, it can be stored without dead space like a long rectangular basket.It also comes with a handle and works well for carrying.This is size S.It is also a nice size for onions, potatoes, and other root vegetables.Shallow, horizontally widened shape.Items inside are easy to see and easy to take out.Put children’s outdoor play equipment such as jump ropes and balls.Take it with you on your way out. When you come back, you can hang it on a hook.This is size M.Also used as a toy and tool basket.A couple of smaller potted plants can be placed side by side. The handle makes it convenient to take it out to the terrace or balcony for a moment.This is size L.It would be good as a bag holder, or visitor’s luggage container.Also useful for garden maintenance and vegetable garden work. Even if dirt gets into the basket, it can be easily brushed off with a scrubber or brush, so you can use it without hesitation.
The glue applied to the surface of Kachū baskets is a necessary process that prevents the baskets from losing their shape and increases their strength as commodities. It is also the wisdom of the makers who are always thinking about how to make a sturdy basket.
This oval-shaped basket is slim while still providing storage. It does not lose its shape and can be used either on the floor or on a shelf. We are sure that it will be useful in a variety of situations.

–Kachū baskets in Thailand–
“Kachū” is the name of a grass found in the swamps of southern Thailand in that hot and humid environment. The locals call it that in Thai.
The weavers depend on the region, with some groups having a skilled weaver as a teacher and teaching others, while others have three generations of family members who weave together. Most are made by groups of four or five people in each village.
For most people, basket-making is not a full-time occupation, but is often done in between farming activities such as rice cultivation, and many of the weavers are of an older generation.
Although there are not many young weavers, there is now a renewed appreciation of the quality of these natural material products in Thailand, and young people are becoming interested in baskets.
