My trip to Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta was nothing short of fun filled inspiration. Here I go again, setting down my feet in one of Indonesia’s most cultured cities. This is a place to study, search, and wonder; a place to discover the historical artifacts that have made Yogyakarta an official special region of Indonesia.

As soon as I landed I made my way to Kotagede—Yogya’s historical neighborhood. I came here to discover how the art of the area’s silversmiths have made Kotagede famous. The silversmiths of Kotagede began to flourish at the time when Yogyakarta was established as the capitol of Mataram. During the Dut...
