kinds of batik

As a child, I always look at the cloth of batik as a fabric jarik course, every time our family first pilgrimage taken cared of Suro in Jayabaya, Kediri. In fact, I often invited by First Lady to vote motive nice batik cloth, batik dikala stop by the store. I never guessed if batik able to extend to all meanings, ranging from traditional to modern nuances.

By the teens, then I began to frequently see you wearing batik shirt whenever invited. Even my older brother as well. Mr. Mom sometimes offset by batik sarimbit (1 stel, bosses and subordinates), comes with shawl. Adding serasinya father-mother pairs.

Viewing batik cloth is always cast my mind to one word, "formal". Expands from the "traditional", which means already modern. Seems to want to eliminate the impression of a formal, batik cloth dijelmakan back into a batik blouse, or a batik dress, a sackdress, long skirt (mermaid skirt, a new modern terms) or any other clothes.

One time, I get a wedding invitation from an old friend. He comes from a family whose economy barely. Everything he wore a very simple and mundane. I am accustomed to wearing clothes that exclusive, became confused.

For a moment I decided to wear kebaya short sleeves and a black sequined skirt longer than knee-length, but my mother said,

"Wear it sackdress batik course, that you bought a few days ago. Look more stylish and simple. "

Kebaya it does give the impression elegant, but complicated.

Everyone complimented my appearance with a beautiful batik clothes. I feel proud to wear batik, and pleased that the clothes look casual dress can be impressive.

Nevertheless, I still prefer jarik batik as a fabric. Many of the greatness that can dibahasakan by batik motifs on the fabrics jarik. Whether the motive of Madura, the motive of Solo, Yogya motives, motives of Cirebon and other local motifs.

Moreover, if imposed at the time of Solo and Jogja customary marriage which is more often heard the echoes, on the island of Java, which I live is. There are various modifications motifs in batik cloth that can be created either through canting and machinery, but can create multiple levels. That can be sorted out which ones deserve to be parents temanten, manten itself, and the various divisions that participate graced the wedding itself.

No one if on October 2, 2009, Indonesian BATIK confirmed as UNESCO World Heritage (World Heritage). Even who knows, there are other countries which could have claimed more beautiful batik used as a culture.
