YOUNGER Keris

[Rick]

Interesting observation Marco.

I think of Dietrich as a force that restarted a tradition that had stalled for a moment in time .
I don't see much that is Western about that except his name .

Keris are still made traditionally by age old methods developed by the indiginous peoples of Indonesia . Yes, some of the tools have changed; still that doesn't make western influence; just modern .
