This basket is woven with water hyacinth, a water plant that grows naturally in slow-flowing rivers and ponds.
Introducing a tissue case that holds a box of tissues.
Because water hyacinth is particularly sensitive to humidity, the entire basket is coated with a matte varnish as a finishing touch.
The varnish coats the surface and prevents the material from absorbing moisture.
When using it, it is best to place it in a well-ventilated room where it will not accumulate moisture.
We recommend placing it on a high shelf rather than on the floor, and if your house has two stories,
placing it on the second floor rather than on the first floor.

Just by placing it there, you can enjoy it as an interior decoration.
–Water hyacinth baskets in Thailand–
Most of the makers are women in their 40s to 70s, and most of the basket weaving is done by groups or families in the village or hamlet.
Water hyacinth products are made by different makers (in different regions) depending on what they make and how they are woven.
Many people make basket weaving as their full-time occupation,
but there are also those who do both farming and basket weaving.
Such dual-income craftspeople may stop making baskets during the harvest season and concentrate on farming.
Although there are not many young woven craftsmen,
the quality of these natural material products is now being reevaluated in Thailand,
and young people are becoming more interested in baskets.
