If you are persons who like and love art, you have to know batik... batik is an original art from Indonesia..
Batik Indonesianis a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual
wax-resist dyeing technique.
Javanese traditional batik, especially from
Yogyakarta and
Surakarta, has notable meanings rooted to the Javanese conceptualization of the universe. Traditional colours include
indigo, dark brown, and white, which represent the three major
Hindu Gods
(Brahmā, Vishnu, and Śiva). This is related to the fact that natural
dyes are most commonly available in indigo and brown. Certain patterns
can only be worn by nobility; traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines
of greater width indicated higher rank. Consequently, during Javanese
ceremonies, one could determine the royal lineage of a person by the
cloth he or she was wearing.
Other regions of Indonesia have their own unique patterns that
normally take themes from everyday lives, incorporating patterns such as
flowers, nature, animals, folklore or people. The colours of
pesisir
batik, from the coastal cities of northern Java, is especially vibrant,
and it absorbs influence from the Javanese, Arab, Chinese and Dutch
cultures. In the colonial times pesisir batik was a favourite of the
Peranakan Chinese, Dutch and
Eurasians.
