Origins Puppet

There are two opinions as to the origin - origin puppet. First, the idea that puppets originated and was first born on the island of Java, precisely in East Java. This opinion besides embraced and advanced by researchers and experts in Indonesia, also the research scholars of the West. Among Western scholars who belong to this group, is Hazeau, Brandes, Kats, Rentse, and Kruyt.The reason they are strong enough. Among other things, that the art of puppet is very closely related to sociocultural and religious state of Indonesia, especially Java. Panakawan, the most significant figures in the puppet, namely Semar, Gareng, Petruk, Bagong, only in Indonesian puppet, and not in other countries. In addition, names and technical terms puppet, all derived from the Javanese (Kuna), and no other language.In the meantime, a second opinion suspected puppets from India, brought together by the Hindu religion to Indonesia. They include Pischel, Hidding, Krom, Poensen, Goslings, and Rassers. Most of the latter group is the British scholar, the European country that once colonized India.However, since the 1950's, the books seemed to have agreed that wayang puppets originated from Java, and not at all imported from other countries. Puppet culture in Indonesia is estimated to have been born at least in the reign of King Airlangga, king Kahuripan (976 -1012), ie when the kingdom in East Java that was prosperous prosperous. Literary works which are the puppet story was written by the poet Indonesia since centuries X. Among other things, the text of the Book of the Ramayana literature Kakawin Old Javanese language written in the reign of Dyah Balitung (989-910), which is a spin-off of the book of Ramayana written by Indian poet Valmiki.Furthermore, the Javanese poet no longer just translating the Ramayana and Mahabharata into Old Javanese language, but compose and retelling Javanese philosophy by incorporating into it. For example, the work of the professor Kanwa Arjunawiwaha Kakawin, which is a composition that berinduk the Book of Mahabharata. Another spin-off of the more obvious the difference between the original version of the story derigan India, is Baratayuda Kakawin work professor and professor Panuluh Sedah. Great work was done during the reign of King Jayabaya, king of Kediri (1130-1160).Puppet as a performance and spectacle had been started there since the reign of king Airlangga. Some of the inscriptions that were made at that time, among others already mentioned the words "mawayang 'and` aringgit' which means that the puppet show.
