Since the first our ancestors used to produce their own necessities of life. When they need clothes, they weave; need a place for betel nut, they weave; need to smoke, they roll tobacco wrapped in corn leaves, a dozen years ago we are still watching how our grandfather enjoyed rolling tobacco that he made himself. Our ancestors inherited a DNA of creativity that contains science and knowledge woven from tens or even hundreds of years ago. This independence in work proves that the Indonesian nation is a creative and innovative nation since the time of their ancestors, they are able to create and produce primary human needs, namely clothing (wastra), food (archipelago cuisine), and boards (architecture of the archipelago).
