This is a willow basket named “Kablacok” made in Luchmya,
a village along the Vistula River in central Poland.
It has a unique shape with legs and flat back.
These baskets are used locally to harvest, transport, and store vegetables and fruits, especially potatoes and apples.
Above (right) is a picture of willow.
Materials used for Kablacok are both home-grown and wild.
There are many different types of “willow,” and the color and thickness of the branches also vary.
Some are yellowish, some are reddish, and some are green.
This is the frame that serves as the base for Kablacok basket.
Thin willow branches are woven into this base.
The process of first making the frame and then woven is a uniquely European process that does not exist in Japan.
However, even in Europe, “cattail” baskets are woven in the same way
as in Japan, so this process may be based on the characteristics of the “willow” branch.
This is the bottom of Kablacok being made.
On this page, we introduce three relatively small types of Kablacok: small, medium, and large.
Locally, these baskets are in particularly high demand when planting and harvesting potatoes and picking apples,
and they are also sold at markets around Luchmya village.
In Luchmya village, almost every house has a person who makes or sells willow baskets or fences, and also grows willow.
The average age of basket makers is in their 70s.
The situation of aging basket makers is no different from that in Japan.
This basket was registered as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Poland in 2017.
A scene from daily life in Poland.
It is also used as a laundry basket.
This is the basket that we would like to pass down to the next generation.
Please choose the size you prefer.
