Busana Adat Jawa, or Javanese traditional clothing, is an important aspect of Javanese culture that has been passed down from generation to generation.

It can also be said that Javanese traditional clothing is a reflection of Javanese culture, values, and beliefs.

This clothing is an integral part of Javanese identity and is often worn on important occasions such as weddings, traditional ceremonies, and cultural festivals.

The philosophy behind Busana Adat Jawa is the harmony between inner and outer selves. It emphasizes the importance of balance and self-awareness, which is reflected in the design, color, and fabric of the clothing. The balance between inner and outer selves is also related to the Javanese concept of “rupa” or appearance, which is the manifestation of one’s inner character.

There are various types of Busana Adat Jawa, each with a unique style and function. The most popular types include kebaya, baju kurung, and batik. Kebaya is a traditional blouse usually made of cotton or silk and worn with a long skirt or sarong. Baju kurung is a loose-fitting blouse worn with a long skirt or batik fabric. Meanwhile, batik is a textile art that involves using wax on fabric before dyeing to create intricate patterns.

The colors and fabrics used in Busana Adat Jawa also have significant meanings. For example, white represents purity, while red symbolizes courage and spirit. The use of certain fabrics is also related to specific events or occasions. For instance, kebaya is often worn at weddings and formal events, while batik is more commonly worn for everyday attire.



Penari Bali
Balinese Dancer

Balinese dance (Indonesian: tarian Bali; (igélan Bali)) is an ancient dance tradition that is part of the religious and artistic expression among the Balinese people of Bali island, Indonesia.

Balinese dance is dynamic, angular, and intensely expressive. Balinese dancers express the stories of dance-drama through bodily gestures including gestures of fingers, hands, head, and eyes.

There is a great richness of dance forms and styles in Bali; and particularly notable are those ritualistic dance dramas which involve Rangda, the witch, and the great beast Barong. Most of the dances in Bali are connected to Hindu or traditional folk rituals, such as the Sanghyang Dedari sacred dance that invokes benevolent hyang spirits, believed to possess the dancers in a trance state during the performance.

Other Balinese dances are not linked to religious rituals and are created for certain occasions or purposes, such as the Baris or Pendet welcoming dances and Joged dance, which is a social dance for entertainment.
