Tough and good-looking, kaisa grass makes a useful, fun basket for your kitchen. Hand-woven. Kaisa is a sturdy wild grass that dries from its natural light green to a pale, almost tan color. Artisans cut kaisa grass from riverbanks during the monsoon season, leaving the roots for the next year's crop. Later growth of kaisa is thicker, stronger, and used to make fences in the villages. The cut kaisa grass is sundried and cleaned, then woven into baskets.
