Abstract

Raden Wukir is a wise puppetry character and the first son of Prabu Watugunung. Wukir is the third wuku of the Pawukon calendar. Wuku Wukir is designed into a digital batik motif. Wukir is a mythical symbol of wisdom that carries Javanese local culture, but it has yet to be utilized in product design. The problem raised in this research is how the visualization of the Wuku Wukir batik motif is adapted from Pawukon. This research aims to identify Wukir and realize it in industrial design. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques through literature study, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to record the transfer of form from the textual calendar of Pawukon into the visual concept of the Wuku Wukir batik motif with double diamond theory. The result shows that Wuku Wukir can be adapted into a digital batik motif design without leaving the original cultural content. This research concludes that the visual transfer of Pawukon into the Wuku Wukir digital batik motif has excellent potential to be developed in industrial product design, contributing to cultural preservation in Indonesia.
