Fantasia di Cultura

 

 
         From the title we know that this post is about culture. As all we know that culture is the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc (dictionary.reference.com) and in my own country there are many different tribes that spread in 32 provinces and those tribes have their own culture. 

        Cultural differences produced the diversity of language, the way people live, and how to pour their work in writing, dancing, singing or clothing. Here I take Tenun (weaving) ikat  as an example. Tenun ikat made from yarns that are woven and dipped in natural dyes. Ikat weaving technique found in many regions in Indonesia. The regions in Indonesia that is famous for its Ikat fabrics including: Toraja, Sintang, Jepara, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, and Timor. Cain gringsing of Tenganan, Karangasem, Bali is the only fabric in Indonesia, which is made of double ikat weaving technique (double ikat).

        A simple woven products which fall into the hands of people with different cultures making Ikat weaving have high artistic value which becomes a unifying and enriching the national culture differences of Indonesia.

I sent all these pictures from an old magazine called Fiori and It's inspire me to write this post. Hope you enjoy this :)
