Abstract

Jepara carvings on teak chairs are an Indonesian cultural heritage known internationally for their beauty and quality craftsmanship. This study aims to analyze the aesthetics of Jepara carvings on teak chairs and identify the creativity and skills of local craftsmen in developing carving motifs. The study used a qualitative method with a case study approach conducted in Jepara Regency, Central Java. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews with craftsmen, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the aesthetics of Jepara carvings are evident in the beauty of intricate and detailed motifs, inspired by flora and fauna, with harmonious proportions and compositions. Motifs such as lung-lungan, patran, and truntum not only function as decorative elements but also contain philosophical meanings that reflect the culture and spirituality of the Javanese people. The craftsmen's creativity is reflected in their ability to innovate and create new motifs without losing their traditional identity. The craftsmen's skills are formed through a long learning process passed down from generation to generation, requiring years of dedication. Despite facing the challenges of modernization, Jepara craftsmen maintain the aesthetic quality and traditional values in each of their works.

Abstract

The art of Jepara wood carving is part of the cultural wealth of the archipelago that has aesthetic value, symbolic meaning, and history. This art is also important in shaping the cultural identity of the Jepara people. With the development of globalization and the creative industry, there is a change in the way artisans make carving art, especially in terms of creativity, production methods, and the role of art itself. This research aims to analyze the creativity of artisans, study the art of carving in the context of the creative industry, as well as understand the changes in the function of the art of carving in Mulyoharjo Village, Jepara Regency. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and work documentation, then analyzed with the Miles and Huberman models. Research results show that the creativity of artisans can be seen from the development of motifs, shape variations, and the combination of traditional elements and modern design. The art of Jepara carving continues to grow as part of the creative industry that leads to the market, but still maintains the local cultural heritage. The change in the function of carving can be seen from the shift in the role of the work, from symbolic objects to decorative products and economic goods that help the survival of artisans

Abstract

Jepara wood carving, as a world intangible cultural heritage, currently faces serious challenges regarding craftsman regeneration and the necessity to adapt to global market demands without losing its distinctive identity. This research aims to identify craftsman creativity patterns, examine the aesthetic depth of motifs, and analyze functional transformations in Ramayana reliefs in Tigajuru. The findings are expected to provide strategic recommendations for the future preservation of the carving industry. The method employed is a qualitative-descriptive approach with a case study design using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted interactively using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. The results indicate that craftsman creativity is manifested in the mastery of flexible carving techniques, despite technical quality inconsistencies serving as a form of non-linear expression. The aesthetic value of these motifs stems from the blend of Ramayana figurative icons with stylized flora and fauna, creating a harmonious visual narrative. Furthermore, a significant functional transformation was found, shifting from decorative door elements into visual media communicating moral values and deep cultural identity. In conclusion, these skill dynamics and shifts in utility prove that relief carvings serve not only as physical artifacts (artifact) but also as carriers of philosophical symbolism (mentifact) relevant to the contemporary cultural context.
