Tangki

Tangki is a traditional water storage tank or reservoir commonly found in parts of Indonesia, particularly in Java, where it historically served as a key component of ancient irrigation and bathing complexes. These structures often date back to the Hindu-Buddhist period, such as those associated with the 14th-century Majapahit kingdom, and were used for both practical water management and ritual purification. Today, many tangki sites are preserved as cultural heritage, reflecting the advanced engineering and spiritual practices of early Indonesian civilizations.

Today, much of the site lies in ruins, but its remaining structures and restored pools offer a glimpse into the opulence and cultural sophistication of the Mataram Sultanate.

Tangki

Tangki is a traditional Chinese ink-wash painting technique that involves using water and ink on paper or silk to create expressive, often monochrome artworks. Originating during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), it became a highly respected art form that emphasizes simplicity, spontaneity, and harmony with nature. This style is closely associated with Chinese literati painting, where artists sought to capture the essence of a subject rather than its realistic details.
