WHAT IS BASKET BOAT VIETNAM?

Basket Boat Vietnam

History

The question of when did Vietnamese people use basket boat remains unknown. According to the most elderly local people, basket boat was initially created and utilized in the 19th century under French colonists when they tried to impose taxes at that time on the goods, including fishing boats. So, in order to avoid paying the tax fee, Vietnamese fishermen invented a smaller boat or a basket boat so that they could not pay taxes anymore.

Vietnam Basket Boat Handicraft

The craft of basket weaving in Vietnam is extremely challenging and demands the craftsman to be skilled, unique, and thorough. A professional craftsman’s experience and quantitative abilities are necessary for the knitting process.

The main material for making baskets is bamboo. Choosing bamboo is a skill of the craftsman, the bamboo to make the basket boat must be straight, it must be bamboo that is neither old nor young.
