Kablacok, S, M, L / Willow / POL 340201　ポーランド/やなぎ　kablacok(収納かご弓手つき）　S・M・L　3サイズ


							



This is a willow basket named “Kablacok” made in Luchmya,
a village along the Vistula River in central Poland.

It has a unique shape with legs and flat back.




These baskets are used locally to harvest, transport, and store vegetables and fruits, especially potatoes and apples.


Above (right) is a picture of willow.
Materials used for Kablacok are both home-grown and wild.






There are many different types of “willow,” and the color and thickness of the branches also vary.


Some are yellowish, some are reddish, and some are green.








This is the frame that serves as the base for Kablacok basket.


Thin willow branches are woven into this base.
The process of first making the frame and then woven is a uniquely European process that does not exist in Japan.






However, even in Europe, “cattail” baskets are woven in the same way
as in Japan, so this process may be based on the characteristics of the “willow” branch.






This is the bottom of Kablacok being made.






On this page, we introduce three relatively small types of Kablacok: small, medium, and large.




Willow is woven using branches with the bark still attached. Weaving is mainly a winter job.






The color of the willow branches are not uniform, such as reddish or yellowish, and the finished baskets also have individual differences in color. Please understand this in advance.




The rim is solidly made.


This is a handle in the shape of a bow, which is also the origin of the product name. Locals use the handle over their arms or shoulders when using it in harvesting.


The flat back makes it easy to hang on the wall.






These three legs are also unique.






This is Small size.




It would be just right for putting in planters and for storing root vegetables such as potatoes and onions.


This is Medium size.




It is a good size to keep lots of vegetables such as potatoes, onions, oranges, and other fruits and food stocks.


This is Large size.


It is smaller than the size used locally, but large enough to have a great presence.


It can also be used to store stuffed animals and other toys, as well as seasonings and emergency rations.






Locally, these baskets are in particularly high demand when planting and harvesting potatoes and picking apples, 
and they are also sold at markets around Luchmya village.


In Luchmya village, almost every house has a person who makes or sells willow baskets or fences, and also grows willow.




The average age of basket makers is in their 70s.
The situation of aging basket makers is no different from that in Japan.

This basket was registered as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Poland in 2017.










A scene from daily life in Poland.
It is also used as a laundry basket.


This is the basket that we would like to pass down to the next generation.




Please choose the size you prefer.
