Organizing Basket with Lid “Plump” / Krajood Grass / THA 3115113　タイ/カチュー（水草）　整理かご　蓋付き　ふっくら　S・M・L　3サイズ　ルイ版


							



This basket is woven from Krajood, a type of grass that grows naturally around marshy areas in Thailand.

The stalks are cut from the roots, dried, then flattened before being woven. They are typically harvested between May and August.
For larger baskets, longer stalks are required, so harvesting is sometimes delayed to allow further growth.


The makers vary by region. In some villages, experienced weavers lead small groups and teach others, while in other areas, families work across three generations. Typically, baskets are made in groups of about four or five people.






For most people, basket weaving is not a full-time occupation. It is often done in between farming work such as rice cultivation, and most of the weavers belong to the older generation.


Although there are still few young weavers, natural-material products like these are once again gaining appreciation in Thailand, and more young people are beginning to take an interest in them.


This page features the “Krajood” woven baskets, which are rectangular with a plump side, and come with a lid. We offer three sizes: S, M, and L.








The weave on the basket’s sides is the same as the “ajiro-ami” technique in Japan.


Flattened stalks are woven alternately to create a mat-like surface, which is then shaped into a basket.


After harvesting, Krajood stalks are coated in clay-rich mud and sun-dried for 3–5 days. This process helps add flexibility and moisture, preventing cracks and improving strength.


In the final stage of basket making, the entire surface is coated with glue—an essential step to ensure strength and durability.


As seen here, some of the reeds have changed color, but we hope you can appreciate them as part of the natural look.


The reed mat is shaped into a basket, and the edges are folded back with the reeds used to weave the sides, then woven inward to secure them.


This is the view of the edge of the basket from the inside.


This is the view of the edge of the basket from above. The edges are also thin and neatly finished.


This is the underside of the basket’s bottom. The bottom is also a nice rectangular shape.


This is the lid of the basket.


The lid opens and closes smoothly with ease.


Now, let’s introduce each size.


This is the S size.


This is a basket with plump sides.




For storing electronic devices, such as hair dryers and cameras, to avoid dust.


This is the M size.


It seems perfect for storing out-of-season clothes, scarves, and other small items like swimsuits.




Here is the M size with a tissue box inside. It can hold about six boxes at once, making it perfect for storing daily essentials out of sight.


This is the L size.


This size seems perfect for organizing memories like photo albums and keepsakes.




Also great for storing large fabric items like blankets and sheets.




The glue applied to the surface of Krajood baskets helps prevent deformation and enhances durability,
making them suitable for daily use.
It reflects the makers’ continuous pursuit of strength and functionality.


The glue is thoroughly dried, but in rare cases,
people with sensitive skin may experience redness upon contact.
If concerned, consider placing a cloth or paper liner inside the basket before use.




The plump rectangular basket looks adorable even when stacked. It is designed to maintain its shape and can be used as an organizing basket on the floor or on a shelf. It will surely be useful in various settings.






Please choose your preferred size from the options.




<About Krajood Weaving in Thailand>


Thailand has a tropical climate with a rainy and dry season.
The country’s shape is often compared to an elephant’s head, with the “trunk” being the Malay Peninsula.
Southern Thailand, located here, experiences slightly different weather.
Due to monsoon winds from the southwest (Pacific) and northeast (Indian Ocean),
this region has a longer rainy season and a shorter dry season—only about two months.


Krajood is the name of a grass that grows in the hot and humid marshlands of this southern region of Thailand.


Thailand experiences frequent flooding due to its heavy rainfall,
and in some years, Krajood plants are swept away or damaged, leading to poor harvests.
As demand for Krajood baskets rises both within Thailand and internationally,
securing raw materials has become a growing challenge for artisans.


The Krajood weaving introduced here is mainly produced in provinces on the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula,
facing the Gulf of Thailand—such as Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat,
Pattani, and Narathiwat.
