Her father was a nurse and an integral part of Indonesia’s struggle against the Dutch. Suryani’s mother was a successful business woman who supported the family’s finances.Motivated by a strong will to treat her young sick mother, Suryani learned meditation when she was only 14. While many of her family members initially doubted her abilities, they were surprisingly convinced to see her mother cured. Suryani then began treating sick people in her community through meditation.After graduating from high school, Suryani studied medicine at Udayana University in Bali, where she specialized in psychiatry.

CHEF DAIJIRO HORIKOSHI + (TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a maste … TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a master artisan who has devoted his life to perfecting Kaiseki cuisine.Chef Daijiro San … with respect you don’t sound like any ‘normal’ kind of Chef to us … what’s your story and how did you end up in Bali? Did you train in a Japanese kitchen, and did it involve years of internship under a Master?I am the son of the third generation of a tempura restaurant located in Osaka. The restaurant had a 62-year history before it closed. My grandmother started the restaurant, and my mom took over before I eventually took over from her. I ran the restaurant for over 16 years, and in 2012, I moved to Bali. When I was 13 years old, I had the opportunity to travel with my stepfather, who was a Native American leader from the United States named Dennis Banks. We travelled to 23 countries around the world, and this experience exposed me to different cultures, religions, and people. When I decided to move to Bali, it was because my wife had a dream of living on a tropical island. We wanted our children to have a global experience and learn English, so we chose Bali as it offered a mix of different cultures. It was the perfect balance for us, and we couldn’t find it anywhere else in the world.Tell us first about KOHAKU, and your journey to making edible crystals…Although I don’t have a pastry background, I grew up in a traditional Japanese environment due to my grandmother’s influence. She was a geisha and introduced me to various aspects of Japanese art, tradition, and confections. When I moved to Bali, I missed Japanese sweets, as they were not readily available, so I started making Japanese confections on my own. I never thought about turning it into a business until a friend suggested it. Together with another friend, we started the business, and my wife encouraged me to pursue it further. That’s how our Japanese confection brand, KOHAKU, came to be.How does this relate to cuisine in Japan?Kohakuto, which means ‘amber sugar’ in Japanese, has a connection to Japanese tea ceremonies. Japanese confectionery has always been closely associated with tea and tea ceremonies. The tea ceremony involves not only tea but also meals, and it holds a deep relationship with Japanese cuisine.There are two types of kaiseki, one for parties and the other for tea ceremonies. Both have a connection with tea and confections. So, the idea of creating edible crystals relates to the long-standing tradition of Japanese traditions.Why does Japanese cuisine appear so different and innovative to Westerners, compared to more traditional styles, like say classic French, or Italian? Should the Old School be more innovative?I don’t see a big difference between Japanese cuisine and other traditional styles like French or Italian. Each cuisine reflects its own history, culture, and region. I don’t think one is more innovative than the other. It’s difficult to answer whether the old school should be more innovative because innovation is subjective. What may seem innovative today might become traditional in the future. As chefs, we are always learning and trying to create dishes that make people happy. We focus on making something good rather than just being innovative. Our job is an ongoing journey of learning and creating.Where does innovation go too far, and when should we recognize and respect classic cooking practices?From my perspective, innovation goes too far when it becomes disconnected from our everyday lives and focuses solely on being different for the sake of standing out. Some chefs get caught up in trying to show how they are different from others, losing sight of the true essence of cooking. It’s like we lose our direction and wander aimlessly. Whether it’s in cooking or any aspect of life, we need to take a moment to pause, reflect on where we stand, and look back at our past and the processes that brought us here. It’s essential to respect the ingredients we use and show appreciation to everyone involved, not just for the sake of being different.Tell us about Takumi, your restaurant, and the inspiration behind it.Takumi is a restaurant where we currently serve Kaiseki-style Japanese cuisine. We offer a choice of nine-course or six-course degustation menus, and we will soon be launching vegan courses as well. Our focus is on traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine. The inspiration behind Takumi is unique. We are not simply importing Japan to Bali; instead, we are creating Japan here. We utilize the amazing local ingredients available in Bali and Indonesia, embracing the wealth of flavours they offer. As a Japanese chef, I incorporate Japanese culinary techniques and strive to express the true essence of Japanese cuisine. Additionally, I am passionate about training young chefs in Bali, sharing my knowledge, skills, and the history and philosophy of Japanese cuisine, in order to elevate the level of Japanese culinary expertise in the region.Why is great service such an important part of the culinary experience?Great service is crucial because it enhances the overall dining experience. When customers pay a significant amount for their meals, they should be able to enjoy them fully. It’s important to create an atmosphere where people can feel happy and comfortable. The emotions and atmosphere in a restaurant can significantly impact the perception of the food. Service acts as an additional spice that complements the dishes coming out of the kitchen. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the complete experience – from the moment guests enter the restaurant until they leave. We aim to leave a lasting memory and ensure that our guests have a truly enjoyable time at our restaurant.Who are your heroes in the world of cooking?Although it may sound cliché, my heroes in the world of cooking are my grandmother and my mother. However, my true heroes are the young chefs working in the Takumi kitchen. Each of them brings their unique experiences, which I have never had. Their willingness to learn and their different perspectives make them admirable and worthy of respect. These young chefs are my heroes because they challenge themselves and strive to become respected in the culinary industry.What knives do you use?I primarily use a small petty knife. I don’t have a specific brand preference. I own several Japanese knives, but my favourite is the small petty knife, which I use for personal use at home. I don’t typically use large knives in my cooking.What’s the most exciting new ingredient you are incorporating into your food?Well, every week brings new and exciting ingredients to our kitchen, even if they are the same vegetables we’ve used before. Each batch has its own unique qualities, and that’s what makes it thrilling. We have conversations with the ingredients, exploring their potential and listening to what they have to say. When they arrive in the kitchen, we greet them and get to know them. ‘Hello, my name is blah blah blah, who are you?’ We might say to a red radish. It’s a delightful way to engage with the ingredients and understand their desires. Do they want to be a sauce, a garnish, or simply shine on their own? We listen to their aspirations and help them become what they want to be. It’s the chef’s job, and it’s the most enjoyable and exciting aspect of our work.What motto inspires your life as a chef?Well, I’ve touched on this in previous answers, but it’s a question worth pondering. As a chef, I find immense joy and satisfaction in working with ingredients and creating dishes. It’s the happiness and fun that come from this process. There are many people involved in the culinary world, from suppliers to farmers, fisherman, and even drivers. My motto is simple: I want to make people happy. I strive to bring joy to others through my creations and my work. It’s not just about the guests; it’s about everyone who is connected to food and to me. I want to contribute to a collective happiness and create a positive impact within this circle. As a chef, I am just one part of a larger ecosystem, and my goal is to make everyone in this circle happy.IG & FB: @kohakubaliwww.kohakubali.comIG: @takumibaliFB: @Takumi Baliwww.takumibali.comkumibali FB: @Takumi Bali www.takumibali.com)
Dadalan Sejarah Wangunan Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali + (THE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE … THE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLESporadic struggles for independence against the Dutch Colonial Government emerged in most parts of Indonesia. The violent oppressions by the Dutch resulted many rebellions in various dominions of kingdoms and sultanates under the Dutch colonialism. But unfortunately, the Dutch could easily suppress them by applying their divide et impera (divide and rule) tactic to break the strength of those kingdoms and sultanates by playing off against each other, between a king and the other, between the royal family and the king, the king and his people, and between people as well.The long war experiences and also the more and more Indonesian youth got academic education had aroused the spirit of unity among various social strata and ethnic groups and the awareness to defend their country and to drive away the colonizers. It was initiated by a number of intellectual youths from various regions that on October 28th, 1928, for the firsttime, the Indonesian youth held a conference in which they declared the so called the Sumpah Pemuda or the Youth Pledge. They swore that they were of one mother country: Indonesia, one nationality: Indonesian, and of one language: Bahasa Indonesia or the Indonesian language. This declaration was simultaneously participated by many youth organizations from various islands and ethnics in Indonesia such as, Jong Java of Central and East Java, Jong Pasundan of West Java, Jong Minahasa of North Sulawesi, Jong Ambon of Maluku, Jong Celebes of Sulawesi, Jong Madura, Jong Sumatranen, Jong Batak of Batak ethnic group, etc which later on resulted an idea to form the Jong Indonesia to accomodate all ethnics in Indonesia.This spirit of Sumpah Pemuda has also awakened various youth organizations in Indonesia.One well-known organization, among others, is Sarekat Islam, which was originally as a mere religious movement, then developed into the first popular movement in Indonesia, then the Indische Partij party which also moved in politics. At that time on the island of Java nationalist figures emerged such as dr. Soetomo, HOS. Cokroaminoto, Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hadjar Dewantoro), Douwes Dekker, Tjipto Mangunkusumo, Agus Salim, Soekarno, Muhammad Hatta, and so on. Their pioneering work eventually also inspired other regions to do the same, namely to unite the regions in expelling the Dutch occupation, one of which was a struggle carried out by the Balinese people.Bali Island is one of the bases of the struggle against the Dutch, among which the famous is the Jagaraga War of 1848-1849 in Buleleng, the Kusamba War of 1849, the Banjar People’s Resstance in 1868, the Puputan Badung War of 1906 launched by the King of Badung, Puputan Klungkung in 1908 and also the Puputan Margarana War in the Marga Village of Tabanan conducted by Liutenant Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai along with Laskar Ciung Wanara who had waged in all-out war (Puputan) against the Dutch in 1946.The struggle performed by I Gusti Ngurah Rai has left deep memories for the people of Bali, so as to commemorate his services, a monument, street name, airport name, and so on were erected. The awarding of his services is solely because he has set an example to the younger generation in the struggle for independence which is done unconditionally. The government’s attention to the services of the fighters in Bali was realized by the construction of a grand monument located in the Niti Mandala area, Denpasar known as the the Monument of Balinese Struggle.What is presented in this monument is to recall all the struggles of the Balinese heroes before and after independence. It is also hoped that this monument will also has some benefit in an effort to increase the appreciation of the younger generation in living up to the patriotic values demonstrated by the heroes who sacrifice all his body and soul in defending the dignity of his people without ever expecting retribution.The monument was designed by Mr. Ida Bagus Gede Yadnya, a young man who was at that time was a student in the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, Denpasar. He succeeded in winning and becoming a champion in the design competition of the the Monument of Balinese Struggle which was carried out in 1981 by setting aside his senior architects in Bali.After the design and drawing improvements were made, in August 1988 through the budget of the Provincial Government of Bali a groundbreaking was carried out, as a sign of the start of the construction of the monument. After going through various obstacles and trials due to the depreciation of the Rupiah in 1997, finally this monument could be completed also in 2001. After that, the development was continued with the making of dioramas that depicted the life history of the Balinese from time to time. In addition to the dioramas, a park was also built to add the beauty and comfort of this monument, which as a whole could be completed in 2003. On June 14, 2003, in conjunction with the Opening of the 25th Bali Arts Festival in 2003, Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri had the pleasure of inaugurating the Monument of Balinese Struggle. Since then the monument has been officially opened for public.PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVESThe purpose of making dioramas that tells a story of the struggle of the Balinese people is to reconstruct important historical events that have occured in Bali, so that what is implied in them will be more easily appreciated by younger generation.The aim is to perpetuate the spirit of the struggle of the Balinese people from time to time and pass down the spirit of patriotism in the form of self-sacrifice, love of the motherland, love of unity and love of peace, togetherness to the next generation of the nation, and the main thing is to maintain the integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (Homeland).THE PHILOSOPHICAL BASIC OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLEThis monument is an embodiment of lingga and yoni. Lingga is male symbol (purusa), while yoni is female symbol (pradana). The meeting between the two elements is a symbol of fertility and well-being. In addition to the Lingga-Yoni philosophy, this monument is also based on the philosophy of the Mandara mountain screening (Mandara Giri) in ocean of milk (Ksirarnawa). This story comes from the Adi Parwa book, the first chapter (parwa) of the Mahabarata epic. It is said that the gods and giants (daitya) sought the water of eternal life (tirtha amertha) by turning around Mandara mountain in the ocean of milk. The implementation of the screening of mount Mandara is regulated as follows:1. Turtles (akupa) as the base of mount Mandara2. Besuki Dragon (Naga Besuki) as a strap and turning mount.3. The gods hold the dragon’s tail and the daitya hold the head, while at the top of the mountain sits God Shiva.After working with great difficulty turning the Mandara mountain then successively came out: crescent (Ardha Chandra), Goddess Sri and Laksmi, flying horse (kuda Ucaisrawah), tree of happiness (Kastuba Mani), and the last came out Goddess Dhanwantari who brought Tirta Amertha. The story of searching for Amertha water is then reflected in the shape of this monument, with the following explanation:1. The earthen pitcher containing tirta amertha was symbolized by a kind of pot (swamba), which is located on the top of the monument.2. Naga Besuki’s tail is realized near the pot.3. The head of the dragon is manifested in the entrance gate (Kori Agung).4. Turtle (Bedawang Nala/ akupa) as the foundation of the monument is located on the edge of the lake and its head on Kori Agung.5. The pond that surrounds the monument as the symbol of Ocean of milk (Ksirarnawa).6. Mandara mountain (Mandara Giri) as the overall shape of the monument building.Philosophically, the initiators of this monument wish to give a message to the younger generation that the struggle to achieve success can only be done with hard work, perseverance, and mutual cooperation as told when the Gods and Daitya together seek eternal life.Another symbol depicting the power of God Almighty (Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa) contained in this building is a building plan in the shape of an octagon and an eight-leaf lotus. The eight-leaf lotus is called Asta Dala as a symbol of the omnipotence of God Almighty called Asta Aiswarya, namely:1. Anima : the mildness nature like atom.2. Lagima : the lightness nature like ether.3. Mahima : the great nature that fills all places.4. Prapti : the nature of reaching all desired places.5. Prakamya : all wills are achieved by Him.6. Isitawa : the nature of dominating everything and the most important One.7. Wasitwa : the most powerful character.8. Yatrakama Wasayitwa : His nature and His will cannot be challenged.The symbol of patriotism and nationalism can be found in the 17 number of foot steps towards the main entrance, 8 main pillars of the building and the height of the monument is 45 meters. If these figures are strung together, the numbers 17, 8, and 45 are arranged which show the date, month, and year of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence, August 17, 1945. Indonesian Independence, August 17, 1945.)

Menerapkan Konsep Pariwisata Berbasis Masyarakat + (Tourism has a significant impact in terms … Tourism has a significant impact in terms of employment and local income. However, dependence and wrong management can make tourism one of the causes of over-exploitation of nature and make Bali's condition even worse during the COVID-19 emergency. People are increasingly choosing to work in the hospitality sector rather than the domestic sector, namely agriculture and plantations, so that during a pandemic the agricultural sector also becomes difficult due to the lack of land, good systems and human resources. Though this sector can be a solution to improve the economy of Bali.One solution that can be done without choosing one of these two sectors is to apply the concept of community-based tourism or CBT. This concept can be developed by forming a tourist village so that it can become a forum or economic stimulus for rural communities. The concept of a tourist village that is widely developed in the Java area itself focuses on rural life and natural conditions that are a tourist attraction. Community activities in farming and farming can be an alternative attraction for tourists from outside the region, especially because Bali itself has a unique agricultural system. By implementing this system, the level of sustainability or sustainability of tourism and nature will be better. Of course, when there are disasters or natural phenomena that affect mass tourism like what Bali currently has, the concept of tourism planning is a good solution. If tourist visits decline, there is still a reliable agricultural sector.

Various abstract explorations are presented, such as the play of lines, colors, and splashes. As an artist who grew up in Sanggar Dewata Indonesia (SDI), his work tends to be different from those of the Eleven Group; a group of eleven members from SDI's 90s generation. He doesn't fill his canvases with brushstrokes of paint, nor does the boisterous Balinese icons and symbols appear absent in Mangku's work. In his paintings, Mangku tends to use one color as a base and then fill it with several colors and lines. Sometimes he also crashes contrasting colors with certain compositions that are still calming. It presents a silence that feels sentimental, like spaces of contemplation in the midst of worldly life. No matter how dark the colors he uses, Mangku's works are still sweet, calming and meditative, and he is often referred to as the “Poetic Painter”. Although now known for his abstract works, Mangku had time to explore in a realist and figurative style while still in college. Even in his first year at ISI, he has won two awards at once for best sketch and best watercolor painting. Meanwhile, while attending SMSR Denpasar, he was more focused on watercolor with the splash technique which earned him the nickname Mangku (a priest in Balinese tradition who sprinkles holy water when giving blessings, ed.). His choice to pursue abstract began in 1993, because abstracts provide more space for improvisation and exploration. Since graduating from ISI Yogyakarta, Mangku has returned to Sukawati and is actively working in his personal studio, De'carik Art Studio. He recently exhibited 15 paintings and watercolors at the Singapore International Artist Fair (SIAF) 2018 on 10-13 May in Suntec City, Singapore.

Namtamin Kalanguan Jagat Bali ring Ambaralaya + (According to Mr. Sandiaga Salahudin Uno as … According to Mr. Sandiaga Salahudin Uno as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, Bali is the province that contributes the most foreign exchange from the tourism sector in Indonesia. However, since Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on the world, tourists no longer travel to Bali. Likewise, Bali's tourism life is dead. This has a bad influence on the economic, social, and psychological aspects of the Balinese people. Balinese people who work in tourism currently do not have a livelihood, this causes problems in the economic field. Because everything that is needed must be purchased using money, it makes people sad, problems arise in the psyche. Under these circumstances, there are now many beggars and buskers at crossroads who wear Balinese traditional clothes, problems arise in the social sector. Because the death of Bali tourism has a bad effect, it is necessary to find a way out so that tourism can bounce back.Since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, digital technology or in the network is growing. This digital technology can generate Bali tourism. How to? In my opinion, currently, the government can sell the existence of art, culture, and natural beauty to the world market through the website. The website can also be filled with virtual exhibitions using 360-degree technology, such as digital exhibitions that have often been carried out by people abroad. With one website, you can fill in several videos and virtual exhibitions from art museums throughout Bali. Through this website, tourists do not need to come to Bali, but only with digital experience, they can enjoy the natural beauty of Bali.Now what can also be developed is the performing arts or performing arts which can be recorded and shared online or digitally. Balinese people who have not got jobs can be embraced to learn together performing arts such as Kecak and other colossal dances. It needs to be noted, those who want to watch every video on the website must buy a ticket in advance.From some of the opinions I conveyed above, the development of digital technology can be a bridge to awaken Bali tourism while preserving Balinese art and culture. In addition, currently, each tourist spot must prepare health protocol equipment so that anyone who wants to travel to these tourist attractions still pays attention to health protocols to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

His artistic outpourings of this isolated world became much sought after by eager art lovers, collectors and promoters.
