Udan Liris
Yogyakarta and Surakarta
“Udan liris” is a light drizzle: diagonal bands of small patterns, one after another. Read as hope and fertility, like rain that keeps the fields growing, and as patience in hard work.
Once among the restricted motifs of the Yogyakarta court, worn by princes and nobles; now a common kain for formal occasions.
“Udan liris” berarti hujan gerimis: pita diagonal berisi pola kecil, berderet satu demi satu. Dimaknai sebagai harapan dan kesuburan, seperti hujan yang menumbuhkan sawah, serta ketekunan dalam bekerja.
