Kamasan
Kamasan is a village on Bali, Indonesia. It is situated just to the north of Gelgel, in the Klungkung regency. Kamasan has a cultural importance on a Bali-wide level. The various 'traditional' styles of painting on modern Bali are derived from the "Kamasan Wayang style", which in turn takes it patterns from ancient Java.[1]
Historically, artists from Kamasan were used by the many raja courts that existed on Bali up to the early twentieth century.[1] Their reknown came with the emergence of the kingdom of Klungkung and its palace, which replaced the kingdom of Gelgel at the end of the 17th century.[2]
The village also provided gold- and silversmiths, dancers, musicians and puppeteers. The painters have a particular ward in Kamasan, the Banjar Sangging. The smiths are located in another ward, the Banjar Pande Mas.[1]
