Abstract

The main focus of this research is on the designation of Sewu Temple as Manjusrigrha, which means the home of Manjusri as mentioned in the Manjusrigrha inscription found in 1960 in one of the ancillary temples (temple number 202) of Sewu Temple. Manjusri himself is a form of Bodhissatva that symbolizes the perfection of wisdom (Prajna). The figure of Manjusri is the source of ideas for making ceramic artworks with Gadamer's hermeneutic-dialogical approach. The interpretation will be framed in the context of the aesthetic richness of the Sewu Temple building as a whole and the interpretation of the figure of the Manjusri. The interpretation of Sewu Temple as a “home for Manjusri” is an effort to understand more broadly the meaning of the existence of Sewu Temple in the historical landscape of Indonesia's past. Hermenuetics-dialogic in this research is an ethical interpretative mode, which seeks a form of connection, presence and search for shared meaning that produces a taste of novelty as well as difference. While the methodology used in this research is Practice as Research (PaR), where the work produced in the research provides a new understanding of the existence of Sewu Temple in the historical consciousness of the Indonesian nation and uploads the aesthetic power of Sewu Temple.
