Stilts stilts or poles or sticks are used by someone to stand in a certain distance above the ground. Stilts stilts walking is equipped with a ladder as a place to stand, or straps to be tied to the legs, for the purpose of running for a rise above normal levels. In flood plains or beaches or unstable soil, buildings are often built on stilts to protect in order not to be damaged by water, wave, or shifting soil. Stilts have been made for hundreds of years [1].
There are several types of stilts, namely:
* Stilts grip
* Peg stilts
* Drywall stilts
* Spring stilts
Javanese people familiar with various types of traditional games, which are now no longer found. Various kinds of traditional games such skills make room for the wearer. In other words, the traditional game of Java is not just a passive relationship to place. More than that should be active and creative. Therefore, the traditional game of Java provide a creative stimulus for the relationship.
One type of Javanese traditional game of what is known as the stilts. This game assumes the user / relationship to a higher position. Outside the human height. Materials used as are bamboo stilts, which made meyerupai stairs, but only one staircase. When people wear stilts on one leg raised in steps, or if you borrow the term pustep motorcycles, to then walk. Thus, the user rises above stilts made of bamboo as a kind of toy and then walk away.
Therefore, people who wear stilts to go through the learning process first, because it requires a balance. When the balance is not met someone could fall from the stilts. Anyone can use the stilts, do not have children, people can use it dewasapun.
Can form short stilts, but it can also high. To be sure, when people play stilts, his position became much higher than the actual body. Just like people standing on the stairs, or up on the table.
But the game stilts now no longer easily found. Probably already lost. Or perhaps, the game is no longer relevant stilts of today. In the midst of the children used to the escalators that are available in the mall: stand up the stairs just can not walk alone. Stilts seem to provide "a sense of difficulty" of technological facilities.
Apparently the process of establishing creativity has found a formula that's totally different. Did not begin kesaadaran and initiatives from itself and requires very little encouragement from the outside like stilts. Creativity requires the instrument nowadays is no longer simple and hard to leave the technology.
Therefore, the stilts are past that just to remember and hard to find. Children are no longer "know" what it is and how it shaped stilts. How well do I wear it.
Maybe, come back to introduce the memory of the traditional game of Java, stilts and other traditional game types need to be presented. Not a major to restore "the story of the past." But rather to provide cultural references present in children who are completely familiar with the game technologically.
From stilts, maybe someone can menanapki other Javanese traditional game types that are now just a memory.
