Traditional Weapons East Java

For this post I find it difficult to obtain information about the traditional weapon of eastern Java (Madura). I therefore seek resources from various web sites and blogs. I got this information from senior blogger.

Sickles SOCIETY SPECIAL WEAPONS Madura, East Java

For the people of Madura, sickles can not be separated from their culture and traditions to this day. The traditional weapon has a blade-shaped curved blade shape is what became his trademark. Sickles into Madurese typical weapon commonly used as a weapon carok.

This legendary weapon as a weapon commonly used by a character named Sakera. Madurese communities typically enter khodam, a type of supernatural beings who occupy an object, into a sickle with prayers chanting way before carok. However, basically the main function of this weapon is one of the main farming tool.

History and Myth

  Carok is more synonymous terms to describe the bloody fights with weapons made ​​sickles which incidentally is the traditional weapon of Madura. The theme of this post uploaded on the site Bangkalan-memory.net, but currently dead rich site, and because it is a review of history, there is no point bad posted in Free. But do not include photographs of victims carok, for fear of bad readers eat later after look terrible pictures due carok.

Really carok is inherited ancestral culture Madura tribe? should first read this post until the end, even though many Madura people who do not know the history of this culture carok fights.

Carok and sickles like two sides of a coin. Another one can not be separated. It appeared among the Madurese since the Dutch colonial era of the 18th century AD Carok a knight symbol in the fight for self-respect (honor).

At times Cakraningrat, Joko Tole and Panembahan Semolo in Madura, not knowing the culture. Culture and a time that is killing people using a knight with a sword or dagger. Weapons sickles began to emerge in the days of Mr. Sakera legend. Foreman cane from Pasuruan hardly left any sickles go into the garden to supervise the workers.

Sakera sickle is a symbol of resistance to the common people. So what to do with the duel? Carok in ancient Kawi language means a fight. It usually involves two people or two large families. Even among residents of a village in Bangkalan, Sampang, and Pamekasan. Triggers of this form of seizure carok position in the palace, infidelity, land seizure, it could be hereditary grudge for many tahun.Pada 12th century AD, the time of the kingdom of Madura is currently led by King Cakraningrat and 14th century under the rule of Joko Tole, the term carok not yet known. Even during the reign of penembahan Semolo, son of Saud Bindara son Sunan Kudus in the 17th century AD there is no term carok. The emergence of culture on the island of Madura duel begins in the Dutch colonial era, namely the 18th century AD After Mr. Sakerah caught and hanged in Pasuruan, East Java, He was later buried in the city Bangkil. Or rather in the region Bekacak, Village Kolursari, the most southern region Bangkil City.

The lower classes started to dare to fight the oppressors. His weapon is a sickle. That's when incurred courage to fight. However, at that time they did not realize, when instigated by the Dutch. They pitted the family group Blater (hero) who becomes an accomplice Dutch colonists, who is also a fellow of the nation. Due to that provocation Netherlands, blater groups often do carok at that time.

At the time they did not use a weapon duel sword or dagger, as was done anciently Madurese community, but using sickles as weapons flagship. Sickle weapon is accidentally given to the blater Netherlands with the aim of damaging the image of Mr. Sakera as the legitimate owner of the weapon. Because he is a rebel from the students and a devout Muslim Islamic running. Sakera sickles used as a symbol of resistance against Dutch colonial rabble.

As for the Netherlands, sickle symbolized as a weapon of the hero and the villain. The Dutch apparently successful efforts pervaded most of the Madurese and into his life philosophy. That if there are problems, infidelity, seizure of land, and so always use the road carok policy. The reason is for the sake of the dignity. The term, better than the whites of the eyes of white bone. That is, it is better to die rather than bear the shame berkalang ground. No wonder if there is the issue of the affair and the struggle for land in Madura and the Madurese descent in Java and Kalimantan are always resolved by way of individual and mass duel. The weapon used was always sickles. Similarly, when performing criminal acts, also using sickles.

Such conditions ultimately, the community of Java, Borneo, Sumatra, Irian Jaya, Sulawesi taste like carok Madurese, abusive, false bravado, loud, like a divorce, do not know manners, and if you kill people using sickles. But it was not all so Madurese community. Madurese who have refined attitude, gentleman, said softly, not like a divorce, not quarrelsome, without the use of weapons sickles, and so usually are students from the community. They are descendants of those ancient aimed against the Dutch colonialists. After a few years the Dutch colonizers left the island of Madura, carok culture and use sickles to finish off his opponent is still there, be it in Bangkalan, Sampang, and Pamekasan. They think the culture of creation ancestors, not realizing when modified Dutch colonizers. (Source: http://mulkymaurival.blogspot.com/)

Type and size of sickles

Based on the shape of the blade, sickle can be divided into:

- Sickles Flower Turi

The structure of sickle

Generally sickles have upstream (grip / handles) made ​​of wood, while the wood used is quite diverse, including wooden flowers, wooden Stingi, guava wood, wood temoho, and other wood.

Sickles Gloves made ​​of leather, usually derived from a thick skin that kebo or cowhide and other leather.

Gloves sickles just stitched 3/4 from the end of sickles, sickles that can easily and quickly pull / removed from the sheath. Generally glove decorated with carvings / simple ornaments.

Sickle blades using various types of metal, for the good quality of stainless steel is typically used, railroad scrap metal, iron bridges, iron car. As for the low quality use ordinary steel or iron. Sickle blades have a bond that is attached to a wooden handle and penetrate until the end of the hilt. Part of sickles were also made to follow the shape of a semicircle screw blade. Sometimes the blade there is a simple circle ornament along the blade sickles.

Making Process

Before working on the blade sickles, blacksmith regular fasting beforehand. In fact every year, precisely in Mawlid, do a little ritual at the forge. This ritual is accompanied by offerings of grilled chicken, rice and water flowers. The offering was then prayed in the mosque. Only after that, the water splashed into interest bearing iron forge place. If there are believed to be in violation of (disturbing), he will get sick disaster. Until now, tombuk or forge iron bearing bypassed abstinence first occupied by people.

The first thing is always done in the making, is to choose the desired iron. For the best quality used sickles iron or iron rail car / jeep. The choice of an iron rod is then cleaved with forged many times to get the dial. After obtaining the desired slab, flat iron was then heated to a certain degree point.

Metal that has been smoldering and forged it repeatedly until it forms an arch in accordance with the desired type of sickles. Forging is done with precision. After reaching the desired curvature, grinded and polished blade sickles. Once inserted / plugged into the receiver that has been prepared in advance. And continued by giving the rope to the handle. Last slats finished with a sheath made ​​using kebo leather / cow and have carved / inlaid, where ukurana sheath adapted to the shape of the blades. To make the best quality sickles takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Sickles and Pencak Silat

In Madura, found many martial arts college that teaches how to use sickles. Although only an inanimate object, use sickles have a variety of ways. It depends on the intent of the wearer. Where colleges use sickles parried menggajarkan not just taught to knock the opponent. However, a fighter must have a clean mind with based on religion. (Source: kebudayaanindonesia.net).

Traditional Weapons Central Java (Indonesia)

Hallooooo...After I discussed the traditional weapon of West Java is Kujang, now I will discuss about the central Javanese traditional weapons. Central Java has a traditional weapon keris.

Keris

Keris is a dagger stabbing weapon class (pointy and sharp on both sides) with many cultural functions are known in the western and central archipelago. The shape is distinctive and easily distinguished from other sharp weapons because it is not symmetrical at the base of the dilated, often winding blade, and many of them have the prestige (Damascene), is visible fibers of a bright metallic finish on slats strands.

In the past keris serves as a weapon in a duel / battle, as well as complementary offerings objects. In use today, is more of a keris accessory items (ageman) in dressing, has a number of cultural symbols, or becoming a collector's item that is assessed in terms of aesthetics.

Use of keris spread on area dwellers who never affected by the Majapahit, such as Java, Madura, Nusa Tenggara, Sumatra, Borneo coast, parts of Sulawesi, the Malay Peninsula, southern Thailand and southern Philippines (Mindanao). Keris Mindanao known as dull. Keris in each region has its own peculiarities in appearance, function, technique filmed, and terminology. In traditional Javanese keris is not only regarded as a traditional weapon that has a unique shape and prestige.

Keris is considered as the completeness of spiritual culture. Keris is a traditional weapon Javanese also the symbol of male virility. Symbolically keris symbolizes maturity, courage and virility traditional Javanese man must be strong and able to protect themselves, their families, or to defend the country.

In the past, keris is also used as a symbol of identity, be it for yourself, family, or klan.Keris has a characteristic that symbolizes the excess of their personality or character within the wider community. A long time ago in the days of the kingdoms, the token keris.Keris high value is most valuable is the provision of a Javanese king to his officers or courtiers. In such an environment could be a symbol of royal rank keris. Keris king differ from subordinate officers or courtiers. Not only keris blades are different but also the details of jewelery is different complementary devices. Keris is Considered as the completeness of spiritual culture. Keris is a traditional weapon Javanese also the symbol of male Virility. Symbolically keris symbolizes maturity, courage and Virility traditional Javanese man must be strong and Able to protect Themselves, their families, or to defend the country.

Keris Indonesia has been listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage of Human Non-material since 2005.

Material

Base metals used in the making of keris there are two kinds of metals ferrous metals and metal prestige, while pesi keris made ​​of steel. To make light of the master always combine these basic ingredients with other metals. Keris present (NEM-Neman, made ​​since the 20th century) usually wear metallic nickel prestige. Past Keris (keris kuna) which both have the prestige metal meteorite known to have a high content of titanium, in addition to nickel, cobalt, silver, tin, chromium, antimony, and copper. Meteorite is the famous Prambanan meteorite, which never falls on the 19th century temple complex at Prambanan.

Manufacture

Keris vary from one master to another master, but there is a procedure that usually resemble. Here is a brief process according to one of the libraries. Blade of iron as a raw material or heated to glowing diwasuh then forged repeatedly to get rid of impurities (eg, carbon and various oxides). Once clean, the blades folded like the letter U for material prestige plates inserted in it.

Furthermore, these folds back heated and forged. Once attached and elongated, folded and forged this mixture back repeatedly. How, strength, and position forge, and the number of folds will affect the prestige that appears later. This process is called Saton. Final form is elongated slab. The slab is then cut into two parts, called kodhokan. The steel plates are then placed in between the two kodhokan like sandwich bread, then tied dipijarkan and forged to unite. Kodhokan tip then made ​​slightly elongated to be cut and used marijuana. The next stage is to form pesi, bengkek (gandhik candidate), and the final form is berluk or straight blades. Making luk performed by heating.

The next stage is the manufacture of ornaments (ricikan) by working on specific parts using a miser, grinding, and drilling, according to dhapur keris to be made. Done with a reasonable Silak hone blades to see prestige formed. Ganja was made to follow the bottom slats. Customized hole size in diameter pesi.

The last stage, the plating, metal keris be done so that the steel metal. In the Philippines keris not done this process. Gilding ("consider smb. Head metal") performed by inserting blades into a mixture of sulfur, salt, and lime juice (called Kamalan). Plating can also be done with a keris anneal then dipped into a liquid (water, salt water, or oil, depending on the experience that makes the professor). Gilding the action should be done with caution because if one can make a keris crack.

Treatment

Provision of arsenic and fragrance oils carried as keris care in general. Care keris in Javanese tradition performed each year, usually in the month of Muharram / ​​Sura, although this is not a requirement. keris term care is "bathe" keris, though in fact done is to remove the old fragrance oil and rust on the blade keris, usually with acid (traditionally use coconut juice, noni fruit crushed, or lime juice). Blades that have been cleaned and then given arsenic as necessary to reinforce the prestige, cleaned again, and then given a fragrance oil to protect from rust new keris. This fragrance oil is traditionally use jasmine oil or sandalwood oil is diluted in coconut oil.

morphology

Some terms in this section is taken from Javanese tradition, which is available only as a reference.

Keris or dhuwung consists of three main parts, is blades (wilah or leaf keris), ganja ("backbone"), and upstream keris (engraving, keris handles). The part that should be there is the bar. Hulu may keris separately or together with the blades. Ganja does not always exist, but a good kris always have it. Keris as a weapon and a ceremonial instrument is protected by a sheath or sheath.

Keris is a major part of which is the identification of a keris. Knowledge of the form (dhapur) or morphology keris becomes important for identification purposes. keris has many forms of spiritual symbols other than aesthetic value. General things to consider in the morphology keris is a bend (luk), ornaments (ricikan), color or beam blades, as well as patterns of prestige. The combination of these components resulted in a number of standard forms (dhapur) dagger that many libraries described in the keris.

Effect of time making style influence. keris-making style is reflected in the concept of tough, which is usually associated with the periodization of history and geography, as well as the masters who make.

Upstream or keris grip

A keris with a handle shaped Semar

The handle keris (Javanese: gaman, or upstream keris) is a variety of motives, for the Balinese keris there that resembles a god, pedande (priest), a giant, dancer, forest hermit and there kinatah carved with gold and precious stones and usually studded with rubies. For Java keris handle, the outline consists of sirah sidekick (back of the head), Jiling, cigir, superficial, bathuk (front head), Weteng and cauliflower. For other regions that have Indinesia keris, handle different names because that is the hallmark of their respective areas.

Sheath or the sheath

Sheath, or the sheath (Banjar language: tainted), is a component of the dagger that has a specific function, especially in the social life of the Java community, not least because this is the part that is visible directly. Early sheath made ​​of wood (which is common teak, sandalwood, Timoho, and yellow). In line with the addition of the times wrangka function as a reflection of social status for its users. The uppers or ladrang-Gayaman often replaced dengangading.

Broadly speaking there are two forms of the sheath, the sheath ladrang type consisting of the parts: tweezers, lata, beard, gandek, Godong (shaped like a leaf), axle, ri and cangkring. And the other type is the type of wrangka Gayaman (Gandon) which is almost the same parts with wrangka ladrang but not terdapatangkup, Godong, and gandek.

Wilah keris

Moro Keris (kalis) of Sulu, elder and no slats not berpamor.

Wilah, wilahan, or the main part of the blade is a keris. Wilah keris was forged metal in such a way that it becomes a sharp weapon. Wilah consists of certain parts that are not the same for every wilahan, which is usually called the kitchen, or the naming of the various forms of wilah-bar (there are dozens of forms of the kitchen). For example, Virgin tall kitchen can be mentioned, jaka lola, pinarak, diadem murub, cauliflower, kebo Tedan, pudak sitegal, etc..
