Batik Indonesia, Culture Original Yang Less Awake

Batik Indonesia, Culture Original Yang Less Awake

Batik, according to Wikipedia comes from the Javanese word Amba (writing) and points (also means the point in the Indonesian language). In addition there is also interpreted as menghamba at that point. Indeed the point is the dominant design of the batik. At the National Museum we can see detail on drawing batik fabric on stone sculptures from the eighth century (for example the statue statue from the temple of Prambanan) and also at the sculptures from the 13th century (Singosari) and century 14 (Majapahit). Despite this first writing about the making of batik in Java comes from recording the palace in central Java in the 16th century (Aspects of Indonesian Culture).


Basic techniques of batik (dye resistance pattern) according to the info comes from Egypt around 1500 years ago. At the National Museum of China there are also jars are made by trying to practice this batik techniques on ceramics. But the experiment on the fabric seems to be more successful in Java. From the name alone is unclear who raised the name of the place of origin of batik itself.

With the development of the cloth trade in Java, then go fabric from India in the years around 1800 and from Europe in the years around 1815. Because using higher quality fabrics, the increasingly rapid development of Java, batik and more famous.

Gittinger Mattiebelle researching the textile industry in Indonesia in his writings on the Arts of Asia (September-October 1980) states that use the basic technique that uses wax batik may have originated from China and India, but all the tools and the process of making batik is specific pembatikannya Java. Batik Canting is a tool of writing invented by the Javanese and shows a high versatility of our ancestors.

In fact, according Gittinger Dutch in the 17th century began to trade in batik and in the 19th century began producing batik textile factory which later diperdagangkannya to West Africa.

Unfortunately the results of high artistic value, according to experts, lack of government attention. Even a flatter Malaysian government concern in the development of Malaysian batik, citing the daily Jakarta Post that discussed the comparative development of Indonesia with a Malaysian batik actual use of Indonesian workers. Lack of government attention on the development of batik was highlighted in 2005 due to patent it first Malaysian batik as it is written in the daily Republika. Indeed this patent matters according to the daily Kompas many do not know, and quite difficult to fight for the recognition of the cultural tradition of property rights. Malaysia attention on patents is higher, and their promotion of Malaysian batik is quite large, as seen on stamps of Malaysia.

Whereas batik actually contains a very high historical value. Parang Rusak batik for example, actually includes batik motifs used in sacred that only the court environment. Similarly, the color motif batik parang at home court can determine the users, whether from the Kraton of Solo or Jogja Kraton.

Besides bringing a symbolic meaning, observing cultural richness of batik also showed uptake of Indonesia. At the National Museum we can see the difference between coastal batik influenced by Chinese culture, Islamic culture, as well as the effect of the Dutch occupation, which was at that time also produced batik Netherlands (from factories owned by the Dutch in Indonesia),.

So how can we help to keep the valuable cultural heritage and history? Some have already started, in terms of production than small and large factories, there are also designers such as Iwan Tirta, Harry Simon Lim, and Obin. Joop Ave, now there are invites you to see batik as an element of the interior.

Batik design patents we also need to be considered, needed government assistance to small entrepreneurs who may not know anything about copyright. Not funny if one day there is a prosecution for using batik batik design already patented in other countries. Meanwhile, what about marketing? Have we proudly wear batik.
