The book offers a comprehensive examination of ulat-ulatan, the traditional art of Balinese basketry, encompassing the full spectrum of baskets and related woven artifacts produced on the island. The techniques employed in Balinese basket-making remain consistent with those observed in contemporary practice, reflecting a continuity of cultural craftsmanship. Indeed, no Balinese household can operate effectively without possessing several varieties of these artisanal products, skillfully fashioned from indigenous materials to accommodate the demands of daily life. The author—an engineer by training and a retired instructor of Physics and Chemistry—resided in Bali for a significant period. He passed away in 2013 in Arizona, United States.
