Batik Indonesia for World Cultural Heritage
Everyone must know what it is Indonesian batik.
Moreover, batik has been declared by UNESCO as a Cultural Heritage for
Humanity Oral and Nonbendawi (Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible
Heritage of Humanity) since October 2, 2009.
According to the terms of the language, batik comes from two words in
the Java language, which is 'amba' artinga writing and 'point' which
means the point. By its terms, batik batik is one way of making fabric. Batik can also refer to two things. The first is technique of coloring cloth using the night to prevent staining part of the fabric. In the international literature, this technique is known as wax-resist dyeing.
The second notion is the fabric or clothing made with these techniques,
including the use of certain motifs that have uniqueness.
Batik culture
Batik is a craft that has high artistic value and has become part of the culture of Indonesia (especially Java) since long. Javanese women in the past made their skills in batik for a living, so in the past batik work is exclusively women's work until the invention of "Batik Cap" which allows the entry of men into the field. There are some exceptions to this phenomenon, namely the coastal batik masculine lines as can be seen in shades of "Mega Clouds", which in some coastal areas batik work is common for men.
The tradition of batik was originally a hereditary tradition, so that occasionally a recognizable motif batik originated from a particular family. Some batik may indicate the status of a person. Even today, some tadisional motif used only by the family palace of Yogyakarta and Surakarta.
Batik is the ancestral heritage of Indonesia (Java) that until now still exist. Batik is also first introduced to the world by President Suharto, who was then wearing batik at the UN Conference.
