I thought I share the same view. There is a need to re-live the genuine art of keris making. As much as I like new and good keris, I think one should also be done within its pakem and 'parameters'. It is not just an art to see, like any good painting it must have that insight meaning and philosophy, like a poem
.
It's about time for someone to write a book about Keris Jawa - Appreciating the evolution, philosophy and cultural interpretation. No longer about dapur and pamor, etc.
