Tuku Kapal Tok Tok (2)

Tuku Kapal Tok Tok (Buying a Tok Tok Boat) portrays the excitement of families visiting the annual Sekaten festival, where children eagerly gather around toy vendors in search of their favorite Kapal Tok Tok. This classic toy boat is made from thin sheets of metal, often recycled tin or aluminum. Powered by a simple steam mechanism, it produces the distinctive “tok tok” sound as it moves across the water. Known for its unique movement and sound, the toy has delighted generations of children. The painting captures a nostalgic moment when a trip to Sekaten felt incomplete without bringing home a Kapal Tok Tok.
