KASONGAN Tourist Village | Pottery and Ceramic Craft Industry Center | Demi Moore & Patrick Swayze and Whoopy Goldberg in The Ghost. Bantul Regency is known as the center of crafts in Yogyakarta province. Many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bantul are engaged in the craft sector. One of the iconic crafts of Bantul Regency is pottery, whose center is located in Kasongan. Kasongan is administratively located in Bangunjiwo Village, Kasihan District, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, approximately 7 km south of Yogyakarta City. It's very easy to reach Kasongan. From Jalan Bantul, continue south until you reach the Kasongan gate, a large gate flanked by two horse statues. Along the road, you'll find numerous showrooms displaying a variety of pottery crafts, such as ceramic vases, flower pots, terra cotta, fountains, loro blonyo, Buddha statues, and other pottery. The history of Kasongan began with the death of a horse belonging to a Dutch detective on a local resident's land. Fearing retribution from the Dutch, who were colonizing Indonesia at the time, he relinquished his land rights, a move echoed by several other villagers who also relinquished their land rights. Eventually, some of the land was taken over by other villagers. Other landless residents eventually started a new activity: processing clay into toys and kitchen utensils. Besides being able to directly select and negotiate the price of their desired pottery, tourists can also visit the workshop to see firsthand how clay is processed into the final product, a craft. Kasongan Tourism Village is located in Kajen hamlet, Bangunjiwo Village, Kasihan District, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta.
