And then in 2005, Sekatul land was developed by KPH Herry Djojonagoro, as Kampung with Java atsmophere. ( so this place was named Kampung Jawa ). In this land , Heri Istiyanto ( wood carving business man from Solo, Central Java ), was built by all of element of Javaneese life, complete with gent home ( omah lanang ), gamelan ( Java music ), pets for klangenan which more miths ( buffaloes ) and keeping a few Java pusaka
