Jepara City

Jepara is a small town in the province of Central Java, Indonesia. Jepara is on the north coast of Java, north-east of Semarang, not far from Mount Muria. It is also the main town of the district of Jepara, which has a population of about 1 million. Jepara is known for the Javanese teak wood carving art as well as the birthplace ofKartini, a pioneer in the area of women's rights for Indonesians.

Jepara is known for its furniture industry, notably the teak furniture.^{[citation needed]} The industry employs approximately 80,000 people, working in a large number of mainly small workshops.^{[citation needed]} The trade has brought considerable prosperity to Jepara, well above the average for Central Java. Since there is a large export trade, the fall in the value of the rupiah against the U.S. dollar and other currencies has probably led to an increase in income for the [furniture makers].
