Origin of Wayang Kulit in Indonesia



There are two opinions about the origin - the proposal puppets. First, the opinion that the puppet was first originated and was born in Java, specifically in East Java. This opinion was adopted and raised by other researchers and experts in the Indonesian nation, is also the result of research of Western scholars. Among Western scholars, including this group, is Hazeau, Brandes, Kats, Rentse, and Kruyt.
The reason they are strong enough. Among other things, that the art of puppet is still very closely related to sociocultural and religious state of the Indonesian people, especially the Javanese. Panakawan, the most significant figures in the wayang, namely Semar, Gareng, Petruk, Bagong, there are only puppets in Indonesia, and not in another country. In addition, names and technical terms puppets, all from Java language (Kuna), and no other language.
Meanwhile, a second opinion suspected puppets from India, which brought together with the Hindu religion to Indonesia. They include Pischel, Hidding, Krom, Poensen, Goslings, and Rassers. Most of this second group is the British scholar, the European country which had colonized India.
However, since the 1950s, the books * wayangan seemed to agree that the puppets are coming from Java Island, and in no way be imported from other countries.

The literature on the subject of puppet stories are written by the poet in Indonesia, since the X century Among other things, literary texts of Ramayana Book of Old Javanese language Kakawin written during the reign Balitung (989-910), which is a spin-off from the Book of the Ramayana written by poet In * he, Valmiki.
Furthermore, Java poets no longer simply translating the Ramayana and the Mahabharata into Old Javanese language, but compose and retell the philosophy of Java by entering into it. For example, works of professor Kanwa Arjunawiwaha Kakawin, which is a composition which descended on the book of the Mahabharata. Spin-other, more tangible difference between the original version of the story derigan In * her is Baratayuda Kakawin work professor and professor Panuluh Sedah. This great work done during the reign of King Jayabaya, king of Kediri (1130-1160).
Performances and puppet as a spectacle even been started there since the reign of King Airlangga. Some inscriptions are made in those days, among others already mentioned the words "mawa * a 'and` aringgit' which meant that per * show puppet.
