Organizing Basket with Lid “Acorn” / Krajood Grass / THA 3115126 タイ/カチュー（水草） 蓋付き整理かご どんぐり 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 tall organizing baskets with square bases and lids, made from Krajood grass, available in three sizes: S, M, and L.
Its tall shape, with a small handle perched neatly on top, resembles an acorn, so we named it “Acorn.”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.After shaping the mat into a basket, the rim is folded outward and woven back into the inside. Rim finishing is a particularly important step that determines the basket’s overall strength and quality.This is the top view of the rim. The rim is also finished thinly and neatly.The lid opens and closes smoothly.The top of the lid has a small handle like this. It is made by twisting a type of sedge grass called “Kok” in Thai.The handle is secured to the inside of the lid like this.This is the view of the bottom side of the basket. The bottom is also neatly finished.It is a tall, straight-sided basket.Now, let’s take a look at each size.This is the S size.It is a good size for storing spare toilet paper rolls in the corner of a restroom.It is sized to hold a single toilet paper roll. *Please note that depending on the batch, some baskets may be slightly smaller and may not fit a roll. Use this as a general size guide.This is the M size.For both sizes, the lid can be set lightly on top, allowing for some adjustment in height.You can store cleaning tools like spray bottles and brushes inside and close the lid, making it tidy even if placed in a corner of the room. It might even make cleaning time something to look forward to.This is the L size.It can neatly store seasonal accessories like scarves while keeping them free from dust.
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.
Even a single acorn-shaped basket placed casually — or several lined up together — seems to bring a sense of calm just by being there.
Because they are lightweight and durable, these baskets would also make great treasure boxes for children. It could be fun to give each family member their own basket, choosing one according to size.
Because they hold their shape well, these organizing baskets can be used on the floor or on shelves, making them useful in a variety of settings.
Please choose the size that best suits your needs.
<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.
