Abstract

This writing aims to find out how the development of the kujang from ancient times to the present. Kujang, which is a unique weapon from the Pasundan region, certainly cannot be separated from the impact of the times. Thus, without realizing it, the development of the times has influenced the development of the Kujang itself. The focus of this research will investigate how modern developments affect the kujang itself. This study is a qualitative research with descriptive qualitative as its approach. The data collected by using literatue review and interview. Based on the results, the development or dynamics of the Kujang can be seen from its history, type, function, and manufacturing process. For example, according to the manufacturing process, on the time benchmark, the kujang has a certain time benchmark to produce kujang for certain functions such as ageman or heirloom. In addition, the function of the Kujang has also shifted. Where, in the Pajajaran era, the cleaver had various functions such as an ageman or heirloom, ceremonial tool, weapon, and agricultural tool. However, its function has now shifted to accessories such as necklaces and so on. The change of its function is considered a good way to approach today’s society and preserve Kujang.
