This is a twisted cord made from a grass that grows naturally in wetlands, called “Kok” in Thai.
*In the photo, two bundles of cord are shown,
but this item is sold per bundle (JPY 715 including tax).
Kok grass is a supple yet durable material with natural resilience,
making it useful in many situations, both indoors and outdoors.
Another pleasant feature is that it can be used repeatedly.
We also offer twisted string made from water hyacinth,
another material from Thailand, which has a slightly more matte texture.
You can view the water hyacinth string page here.
Please enjoy it in whatever way you like.

About Kok Craft in Thailand
The grass known as “Kok” in Thai is a member of the sedge family that grows naturally in wetlands.
It is believed to be a type of grass also known in Japan as “Suge,” a name shared by thousands of species worldwide.
In Japan, Suge is traditionally used to make hats, straw raincoats, and ropes.
Similarly, Kok in Thailand can be twisted by hand to create strong cords for craftwork.
Kok can be harvested year-round in Thailand,
though it is said that better-quality grass is obtained outside of the dry season (January to April).
Processing methods vary—some use thick stems that are split to different widths for weaving,
others twist stems into ropes before weaving, peel them into thin sheets for wrapping, or shave them down.
It is a material known for its flexibility in use.
Basket bags are shaped using wooden molds, while mats and similar items are woven entirely by hand without molds.
The pieces introduced here are made in “Isan,”
a broad highland region at about 200 meters elevation in northeastern Thailand, known for its gentle undulating terrain.
- Southern Isan – Buriram Province, which borders Cambodia
- Northern Isan – Nakhon Phanom Province, along the Mekong River, bordering Laos
