“In Javanese culture there is no blowing out candles. “Because a candle with its flame is as a symbol of light in the darkness, how come it is blown out, then becomes dark,” She said and told about the Javanese tradition.

Ita said this when celebrating her simple birthday at a Javanese style restaurant using Javanese script. It is located at the East Parking area of ​​Surabaya Plaza.

This simple yet meaningful birthday meal completes the cultural collaboration activities between Surabaya and Japan in terms of promoting Javanese script which was initiated by the Puri Aksara Rajapatni cultural community, which Ita founded with a team in the context of preserving Javanese script in Surabaya.

The meaning of the cultural collaboration that Ita and her team initiated together with the Japanese Consul General is to open up the potential for cooperation in the field of culture. It’s no wonder that in the Education Museum room on Jalan Genteng Kali 10 Surabaya, beautiful diversity is created as if the music of an orchestra.

“Uhui, in this room you can hear the of various languages. There are Javanese, Indonesian, Japanese and English,” said Ita while socializing in preparation for an activity to write Japanese-style Javanese script.

The diversity of languages ​​comes from people who are native speakers of that languages. Japanese from Japanese, English from Americans. Indonesian and Javanese from local residents.

This cultural collaboration between Java and Japan is a simple concept in order to enliven the Anniversary of the City of Surabaya which will fall on May 31 2024.

Meanwhile, having meals and snacks at Kedai (restaurant) with a Javanese atmosphere became an expression of Ita and the Puri Aksara Rajapatni team’s love for Javanese culture and script.

While at this resto, the Rajapatni Team deliberately did not organize a birthday celebration as usual, Rajapatni used Ita Surojoyo’s birthday in another way. When ꦆꦠꦯꦸꦫꦗꦪ Ita Surojoyo had some food made from noodles, according bro her, this becomes a symbol of hope for a long and blessed life and is meaningful for all.

Because of their presence at the Javanese-themed resto, the Rajapatni team at that time consisted of ꦆꦠꦯꦸꦫꦗꦪ Ita Surojoyo, AH. Thony, Nanang Purwono and Wiji Utomo actually had a relaxed discussion about the role of Javanese script in filling space for the benefit of the nation.

For example, it is proposed that in the future Javanese script will be used as a symbol or logo for the Local Component Product Certification label. So the Local Label can be written using the Javanese script ꦭꦺꦴꦏꦭ꧀ (local) just like the Halal Label which is written in Arabic script.

Another thing that has become an idea in celebrating ꦆꦠꦯꦸꦫꦗꦪ Ita Surojoyo’s birthday which falls on Saturday, May 4 2024 is correcting the use of Javanese script in the resto. The Rajapatni team appreciates the resto managers who have taken the initiative to advance Javanese culture. According to AH Thony as Rajapatni’s advisor, using Javanese script appropriately and correctly in public places will bring the image of the city of Surabaya which actively uses Javanese script.

Therefore, on the initiative of ꦫꦴꦗꦥꦠ꧀ꦤꦷ Rajapatni, Rajapatni activists noted the inappropriate use of Javanese script. That same evening, Rajapatni conveyed his good intentions to the management of Kedai 27 for the common good of the city which had started using the Javanese script.

“We are protecting the name of the Mayor, who is enthusiastic about establishing Javanese script in Surabaya. But if we find errors in writing Javanese script, this could be embarrassing for the region,” said Nanang, Chairman of ꦥꦸꦫꦶꦄꦏ꧀ꦱꦫꦫꦴꦗꦥꦠ꧀ꦤꦷ Puri Aksara Rajapatni.

Therefore, Nanang immediately contacted the manager of ꦏꦼꦣꦻ꧇꧒꧗꧇ Kedai 27 for the common good of the city of Surabaya which still has a Javanese script.

This kind effort is also a gift for the founder of Rajapatni whose birthday is on Saturday, May 4 2024.

Glad that the manager of Kedai 27, Totok Hardiyanto, responded to the good intentions of ꦥꦸꦫꦶꦄꦏ꧀ꦱꦫꦫꦴꦗꦥꦠ꧀ꦤꦷ Puri Aksara Rajapatni

“Good evening Mr Nanang. Thank you for your attention and for the correction. Can you help me with what needs to be corrected?”, was Totok’s response via WA message on Saturday evening (4/5/24).

This kindness and usefulness is what should be a gift in a simple and meaningful birthday celebration.

On Saturday evening, sharing a sense of happiness was also realized by visiting one of the team members, ꦤꦺꦴꦮ꦳ꦶꦠ Novita, who was hospitalized. At the hospital, Ita Surojoyo and the team comforted her with simplicity too.

A concept of simplicity and intelligence that benefits others. Likewise with ꦥꦸꦫꦶꦄꦏ꧀ꦱꦫꦫꦴꦗꦥꦠ꧀ꦤꦷ Puri Aksara Rajapatni, which was born in the midst of modernization and uniformity in the city of Surabaya. The same as the birth of ꦆꦠꦯꦸꦫꦗꦪ Ita Surojoyo in the midst of the rapid flow of globalization that hit the nation. (Nanang PAR).
