Cirebon Batik Trusmi Excellence

Cirebon Batik Trusmi Excellence

In the event of batik exhibition in Jakarta and other cities often visitor asked me, "What advantage Trusmi batik or batik-batik Cirebonan compared with batik from other areas?".

In my opinion that basically batik-batik produced by batik centers in various regions generally nice things and have a diverse style of batik. Thus, the unique character and uniqueness of the area batik-batik batik can not say one is better than other regions. The uniqueness of the motive and the resulting patterns of batik-batik in different areas of strength and wealth is very unusual, especially for the culture of Indonesian batik.

Did not exist in any country who have wealth like batik designs which is owned by the Indonesian nation. Are very proud we all are, in every area has a design and motifs with the naming of specific motifs using their respective regional languages. For example, there is batik from Aceh Aceh Door, Chakra Doenya, Bungong Jeumpa. From there Riau Ducks Home Evening, bud biting, Cloud Larat and Veil. Batik from Java, including Jelaprang (Pekalongan), Sida Mukti, Sida Luhur (Solo), Kris Patran, Paksinaga Liman plane bride (Cirebon), etc..

To find out about the wealth of evidence of the many design motifs Indonesian batik is the simplest example can be seen in the area of West Java, in this region there are dozens of such centers of batik from most East wilyah there Cirebon, there Indramayu northern region, then toward the West and there south Ciamis Regency, Regency and City Tarlac, Garut.Walaupun District is still in one province and the same cultures (Sundanese culture), but can we meet the different batik motifs and ornamentation that much different from one district to another district. As in the Cirebon area with Indramayu has the character and motives of different designs, even more so between Cirebon and Garut district has a different motif, pattern and ornamentation are very significant differences. The difference was influenced by the culture of culture and level of expertise batik craftsmen. The materials used to make both of relatively equal batik canting shape, form or type of wax seal. But when the production process there are times when running water element soil conditions with the quality of different pH can affect the final staining results. Similarly, the nature of patience and perseverance batik craftsmen in every area, will also be able to affect the final quality of batik produces.

Cirebon batik production centers located in the village allegedly Trusmi Plered Cirebon Cirebon City is out as far as 4 km to the west or toward the direction of Bandung. In the village and surrounding Trusmi there are more than 1000 workers or craftsmen batik. Batik workforce comes from several areas around the village Trusmi, such as from the village Gamel, Kaliwulu, Wotgali and Kalitengah.

In general, Cirebon batik including batik into coastal groups, but also some batik Cirebon batik palace belongs to the class. This is because having two Cirebon Kraton Kraton is Keratonan Kasepuhan and Kanoman, purportedly based on the history of these two royal palace appeared several Cirebonan Classical batik design, which until now is still done by some rural communities such as motive Mega Trusmi Unisex, Paksinaga Liman, Patran Keris , Patran Kangkung, Lion Umbrella, Singa Barong, Banjar Balong, Chicken Base, plane bride, Katewono, Mount Giwur, Simbar Menjangan, Simbar Kendo and others.

Some important things that can become a feature or characteristic that is also owned by batik Cirebon is as follows:

batik a.Desain Cirebonan nuanced traditional classical in general always involves wadasan motif (rock) on parts of a particular motive. In addition there is also a cloud-shaped decorative element (mega) on the parts that are adjusted with its main motif.

b.Batik Cirebonan traditional classics have always been characterized by the color of the background (base fabric) younger than the color line on main motive.

c.Bagian background or base fabric is usually clean look of black stains or colors that are not desired in the manufacturing process. Black stain and can be caused by the use of batik wax break, so the process of dye staining is not desired permeate the fabric.

d.Garis-line Cirebonan batik motifs on the use of single lines and thin (small) approximately 0.5 mm with an older line of color compared with the background color. This is because the process of batik Cirebon superior in closing (blocking area) using a special canting to make the process of closure, that is using and bleber canting wall (made of bamboo sticks on the edges given a piece of cotton yarn thick and placed on one end of the rod bamboo).

e.Warna-dominant color batik traditional classical Cirebonan usually have a yellow color (Sogan pads), the basic colors of black and beige, or dark red, navy blue, basic black with a cream color or ivory fabric.

f.Batik Cirebonan tend to choose some of the background fabric is left empty without filled with decorative shaped tanahan or rentesan (shaped decorative plants ganggeng). Decorative shapes or rentesan tanahan is usually used by batik-batik from Pekalongan.

Still with batik Cirebonan, but have different characteristics with which the previous groups Cirebonan coastal batik. Batik Cirebonan coastal strongly influenced by the character of coastal communities which generally have a soul open and receptive to foreign cultural influences. Developments at the present time, which is owned by staining Cirebonan more colorful batik and uses elements terangdan colors more brightly, and also have a free decorative shapes by combining elements of animals and other forms of visual diverse flora.

In a region with many foreigners sekitarpelabuhan usually transiting, anchored to happen different ethnic marriages (assimilation), the coastal batik Cirebonan more likely to receive from outside cultural influences brought by immigrants. Cirebon batik so this one is more likely to be able to meet or follow consumer tastes from various regions (more to the fulfillment of commodity trade and komersialitas), making the colors more attractive coastal batik Cirebonan using many colors. Cirebonan batik production at present consists of Batik Tulis, Cap, and batik batik stamp stationery combination. In the year 1990 - 2000 there are some communities Cirebonan batik artisans who produce batik cloth Cirebonan screen printing technique with hand (hand printing), but lately the hand silk-screening technique is almost extinct, due to the silk-screening techniques can not compete with machines that are owned by companies more large. Trusmi batik growth appears to move quickly beginning in 2000, it can be seen from the emerging batik showroom showroom-around main roads and villages Trusmi Panembahan. Batik showroom owner Trusmi almost entirely owned by the original Trusmi community although there are one or two are owned by the owners of capital from outside Trusmi.
