Kamasan

Kamasan is located just next to Semarapura (north-west) and to Gelgel (south), in the Klungkung regency, between the south-east coast and the mountain range of Gunung Agung.

[2] The various 'traditional' styles of painting on modern Bali are derived from the "Kamasan wayang style", or Kamasan shadow puppet painting, which in turn takes it patterns from ancient Java.

[4] It has been listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage (WBTB) in 2015 by the Indonesian Government.

[4] Historically, artists from Kamasan were used by the many raja courts that existed on Bali up to the early twentieth century.

[7] However, the name of Kamasan is mentioned as early as 1072 AD (Saka year 994), during the reign of Bali king Anak Wungsu.
