Otsjanep or Ocenep is a village in Asmat Regency, South Papua, Indonesia. The village is located on the bank of the Ewta river[1] at the far north end of Indonesia's Casuarina Coast, named for its casuarina trees but now disappearing due to logging.[2] Otsjanep is renowned for its wood carving.[3][4][5] The locals continue to wear traditional clothes,[6] but the village has a modern missionary church and – unusual in this area – grass lawns.[6]
