JAKOI
Resembling a triangular basket is the jakoi or scoop gear, mostly used by the women fishers. Made of bamboo matting, it is edged with thick splinters that extend as handles.

With jakoi comes kholoi, a bamboo-wickered pot that the women tie to their waist to keep the fish captured during the trip.
