–Kachū baskets in Thailand–

“Kachū” is the name of a grass found in the swamps of southern Thailand in that hot and humid environment.
The locals call it that in Thai.

The weavers depend on the region, with some groups having a skilled weaver as a teacher and teaching others,
while others have three generations of family members who weave together.
Most are made by groups of four or five people in each village.

For most people, basket-making is not a full-time occupation,
but is often done in between farming activities such as rice cultivation,
and many of the weavers are of an older generation.

Although there are not many young weavers,
there is now a renewed appreciation of the quality of these natural material products in Thailand,
and young people are becoming interested in baskets.
