Jepara wood carving, known since the reign of Queen Kalinyamat in the 16th century, is an integral part of Indonesia's rich cultural heritage. Jepara carvings possess high aesthetic value and contain profound philosophies that depict the relationship between humans, nature, and God. This study explores the philosophical meanings within Jepara wood carving and its role in shaping the cultural identity of the local community. The research methodology used is a narrative qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that Jepara wood carving is an aesthetic expression and a symbol of social status, cultural identity, and economic power for the local community. On the other hand, Jepara wood carving faces significant challenges, such as the decreasing interest of the younger generation and competition with mass-produced products. Therefore, preservation efforts through skill training, design innovation, and the utilization of digital technology are crucial to ensure its sustainability. With these measures, Jepara wood carving is expected to continue to develop and remain relevant in the global market while maintaining the cultural values embedded in each carving.
