Hundred-year-old sedge mat weaving craft in Tra Vinh

(VOVWORLD) - 80% of the Khmer ethnic people who live in Ca Hom-Ben Ba village in Ham Tan commune, Tra Vinh province, are engaged in the craft of mat weaving. Mat weaving began there in 1920 after local women visited relatives in the southernmost province of Ca Mau province and learned it. Upon their return, they cut sedge, split it into fibers, dried it, asked the local men to build looms, and started weaving. Their first sedge mats were very rough and clumsy but they used them instead of buying mats at the market. The mats improved and by the 1940s, the whole village was making mats and selling them at the market. The craft village’s golden age was the 1960s.
