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.

Names lifted Trowulan Through Crafts Sculptures
SKILLS Kartono Adi as a crafter mini terracotta sculpture materials (burnt clay) not spelled held among sculptors in many sub Trowulan, Mojokerto regency, East Java. Of the hundreds of statues in the area of heritage crafters Majapahit kingdom, only Kartono statue would pursue this complex craft. Although only 26 years old, residents Kedungwulan Hamlet, Village Bejijong, KecamatanTrowulan, was relentless in usaha.Dia began to become an employee at one of the waxworks maker showroom. Want to search for another challenge, Adi finally chose to utilize the expertise to make different products. "One year I become a wax artisans. Learning from his uncle, "said Adi and calling Parno, the name of his uncle. A year into waxworks maker like Adi opened his eyes to develop more expertise.
Back to the embroidery, she learned to make miniature sculptures made from raw clay. Salah.Meski no choice in the learning phase, he could support himself from the business was initially run by myself. "From creating the mold to finished goods, all my own doing," said the young man who only junior high school diplomas. Adi become entrepreneurs who do not think modal.Untuk started his business, he admitted to not need capital. Therefore, the product requires only clay as raw material. "Sack of clay worth only 100,000. It can be used dozens of statues, "he said. Until recently, he had four years running a small business miliknya.Sayangnya Adi still find some problems though have had many mini sculptures with good quality.
Among about marketing. During the time he was only relying on conventional marketing. "I Leave in Cooperative Institute for Archaeological Heritage Preservation (BP3) Trowulan," added the couple's son and Inarti Yapur (late) this. With the toll system products, he could not be sure how much turnover that got every month. Because according to him, the sale of their products also do not depend on the season. "No menentu.Kadang fast, sometimes too slow behavior. Depending on BP3 Trowulan visitors, "he admits. In addition, he also relies on guests who visit the site of Majapahit. During this time, he said, many guests who are looking for souvenirs in the form of a mini sculpture with easy dibawa.Praktis reasons, things are looking buatannyalah the visitors. "There are other terracotta craftsmen.
But, they make sculptures and miniature temple with a large size, "he explained. Because of the lack of promotions and exhibitions, he rarely get orders from outside kota.Meski, recently began to have orders from Jakarta after she joined the show at the JCC who facilitated BRI some time ago. "If many orders, I could hire two more people. Results were quite good, "he said without can calculate how profits from the business. According to him, efforts to involve business in the exhibition BRI national level to help in the marketing issues that have been dialami.Selain it, BRI will also provide capital assistance for further business development.
Although many types of sculpture that has been generated, Adi still lacks an official name of business carried on in the house of his brother. Until now he has 15 kinds of mini-based clay sculpture. Among the statue of King UB, Tri Buana Tungga Goddess, Agastia, some miniature temples Majapahit, animal motifs, and the statue's head mahapati Gajah Mada. From some form of mini statues, he sold it at a price range up to Rp200.000 Rp15.000. "Depending on the motive and the statue," he said. If done alone, he is able to produce 15 units of product a day, rose to the weather dependent.
The weather was very influential with the results of homemade goods, such as for drying, which does not need the weather is too hot because the sun will damage the structure of the statues that have been shaped perfect. "Drying takes two weeks and must avoid winds that could make a crude statue was fractured," said the young man who was tired of being unemployed ini.Adapun targeted daily gain of at least 100,000. "Because usahainimasihkecil, I am only targeting the low numbers," Adi said. Although still constrained in terms of marketing, he believes that his small business still has vast opportunities in the market.
Besides not many terracotta artisans like himself, a product associated with the Majapahit had its own particularity. "This is a message for my uncle. Only associated with Majapahitlah products I make, "said the man who has a motto that life should be independent. He went on to parse the location of the technical difficulties in making a mini terracotta statues that. According to him, there are many things that must be considered. Starting from the selection of clay, the printing process, fretwork, to combustion. If one process was missed, it will not be able to get good product quality. For materials, he chose clay sand minim.Hal levels are very influential with the fineness of the structure of the statue.
Whether in print, carved and when burned. If too much sand content, the color of the statue would not be bright red. "Rough and the color will look a little pale," he explained. He also must choose the right place to get clay. Not infrequently, he has to take samples of soil in some places to get the right clay, too. "Clay is dried and sieved until very smooth. Then given the water and ready dicetak.Untuk noncetak form, the clay that has been carved into solid, "he explained. For the gouge, it takes special expertise. According to him, not all of the sculptor of stone material can do.
Location of the difficulty lies in the motives that are so small. Thus, it takes precision to get perfect results. Especially for the statues of the king's motive, which should be similar to the original. He admitted that he carved it inherited turuntemurun expertise. Although his father as a worker in one car garage, all his brothers experts sculpt. "Of the seven children, five of them can Other memahat.Yang still in school," he said. While in the process of combustion, he still uses the conventional way as well. Several statues of crude he stacks in a small stove with fuel kayu.Ini done because the number of production has yet to require that furnaces with besar.Pembakaran size takes about two to four hours.
"Burned up a bright red color of the statue," he continued. Of the process that it deems has become a habit, he vowed to continue this effort. Products that he created, it is enough to be able to attract the attention of small wisatawan.Selain, the price is quite affordable. "This also is the reason for me to maintain the business ini.Saya sure there are many opportunities," he said
zdan admitted if the example of French citizens had been purchased to be marketed in that country.
He hoped, there are parties who could help solve marketing problems that have been considered to be a major constraint. Understandably, the low educational background makes Adi trouble doing effective marketing. One of marketing via the Internet.
