–Kok baskets in Thailand–
Kok is a plant of the Cyperaceae group that is found in wetlands and can be twisted by hand to make a strong rope.
In Thailand, it is harvested throughout the year, is easy to process, and can be used to make various types of strong baskets using only Kok. Also used for the handles of Kachū baskets because of its strength.
Most of the makers are women in their 30s to 70s, and they operate their basket weaving business as a group or as a family unit in the village or hamlet.
The baskets shown here are made in a highland area about 200 meters above sea level in northeastern Thailand.
