context_page_description: Pakubuwono XII was the twelfth Susuhunan and the longest ruling of all monarchs in Surakarta history.
  His reign involved being under Japanese power during the Second World War, and through the Sukarno and Suharto eras – in effect three eras in which traditional Javanese power had been both respected and challenged.
  Towards the end of his reign, he was able to enable the claim of his palaces' context in the modern Indonesia by the publication of Karaton Surakarta: A Look into the Court of Surakarta Hadiningrat, Central Java which was published in the same year of his death.
