(Baonghean.vn) -As society develops, the demand for household items such as baskets, trays, sieves, etc. made of bamboo is gradually decreasing, being replaced by plastic and stainless steel items. This reality causes many craft villages to gradually disappear. However, with a passion for the craft, many villages in Nghi Thai commune (Nghi Loc district) still preserve the traditional weaving craft.
