1. THE STORY OF THE NAME OF KARIMUNJAWA ISLAND
Sunan Nyamplungan was the man who gave the name of Karimunjawa. Sunan Nyamplungan who was also called Amir Hasan when he was young was the son of Sunan Muria. Amir Hasan was a spoiled boy, his mother always gave that he wanted. In other hand his father didn’t agree with his bad attitudes, so his father taught Moslem basic values to him, but it didn’t change Amir Hasan bad behavior. Sunan Muria couldn’t stand facing his son’s behavior, so he asked his brother named Sunan Kudus to teach Amir Hasan. Sunan Muria expected that by Sunan Kudus method, his son’s behavior would change
Sunan Kudus taught Amir Hasan very well, no wonder if Amir Hasan became a good young man. Considering the change of Amir Hasan’s behavior, Sunan Kudus took him back to Sunan Muria.
Sunan Muria was so happy considering that his son changed. To prove his son’s Islamic knowledge, he then commanded Amir Hasan to go to an isolated island which vaguely seen from top of Muria mount.
supplied with 2 sheets of nyamplung tree. Long trip by sailing across the wide sea, finally ended in the island purposed. Amir Hasan decided to live in the island and then namely “ KARIMUNJAWA”
The island which vaguely seen from top of Muria Mount belongs to java territory. In the island there are plenty of nyamplung tree. That’s the reason why amir Hasan was well know as “SUNAN NYAMPLUNG”

She brought Amir Hasan’s favourite food “Pecel lele” ( barbequed fresh water catfish served with crushed chili). Unfortunately she didn’t able to catch amir Hasan up.
