Kosasih’s famous take on the epic Mahabharata in a wayang style. Each version has a unique visual narrative as Kosasih adjusts his illustration style to different eras and market demands. The former is more uniform and formal, while the latter is more dynamic and flexible in terms of meanings and cultural values.
