Each type of cloth made in Kerek is created for a specific purpose - to be worn by a person of a particular age, social or residential group; to serve in life-cycle events such as marriage or funerals; and to act as a focal point in agricultural ceremonies or curing rites.

Trade Review

"What makes this book especially appealing is its richness of colorful illustrations. . . . [I]t should appeal to readers who are interested in material culture, especially decorative arts, and its symbolic meaning. . . . an inspiring work . . ."

-- B. Retang Wohangara * Journal of Folklore Research *

"The title refers to the Javanese goddess who sends her yarn to Earth in the form of moonbeams. . . . Illustrations provide a look at pattern and dress styles, village life, and color in relation to life cycles and the cardinal directions."
