Alam Shah makes some good points. When you ask this question you must ask more and be prepared to find no sure answers since much of this information has been lost to the ages. An empu from which region and from which period? The keris and it's traditions are not a static thing and Indonesia is culturally diverse inspite of now being one nation. There is no universal tradition for all empus throughout the ages.
