Basket Bag / Cattail / POL 340212-1　ポーランド/がま　Basket Bag


							



This is a handbag with a lid made of cattails native to Poland.




Today, Hiruzen in Okayama Prefecture is the only place in Japan where cattail crafts are made, but it is rare to see almost same materials used in both places.


Cattail basket weaving can be found in Central and Eastern Europe: Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania, etc.


The photo above (right) is from a cattail habitat in Poland. The bag introduced here is made from cattails collected in this area.






Together with her family, he goes into the muddy pond to harvest the cattails one by one by hand, 
then washes them clean before beginning to weave.




Helena Rogala, the maker of these bags, is one of the few weavers in Poland who continues to weave bags using cattails.








The cattails have thick, multi-layered stalks.
The outer layer of the stalk is peeled off and the center of the cattail is used for the basket.


After drying, they are cut into appropriate lengths and woven using a wooden form.






Since the weaving can be made freely by hand, various woven patterns can be created.




This is a traditional weaving technique commonly seen in Poland.














The handle is also made entirely of woven cattails.


The lid of the basket has a clasp.












The bottom is woven with the thickest and strongest cattails.




Lightweight, it can be used easily on a daily basis.


It comes with a lid, so you can carry it safely on your way out.






Cattails are shiny, glossy, and have a refreshing milky white color.




You will be able to take it with you on your daily outings and on short trips.
Enjoy it for walking around town, picnics, the beach, train trips and various other occasions.
