Batik..The Masterpiece Heritage of Java

-
a few months ago I got a schedule to take guests from argentina. a little makes me wonder is, their special requests. demand for their tour was to visit the north coast of Java island. do not usually like this, because the north coast of Java is very hot, but it's way in the past is the main road between the provinces in the island of Java, has ensured a very crowded and there is hardly a pretty sight to look at. in fact the northern coast of Java island to save a lot of history and stories of the past, but the story of 9 guardian of Islam that spread the teachings of Islam through the harbor on the north coast. Batik is also a legend even to Masterpiece Heritage of Java Island.Batik is a masterpiece of Indonesia, nearly every province in Java have different motifs and patterns.

driving while I explain to my guests when batik in Java is a lot of stuff, for example :

actually there are many other areas that have different batik patterns and motives, when I mentioned there will be no end, since I was touring through the northern coast of Java island, there are three cities that we visited to see the coastal batik motifs and patterns. basically almost the same in each process, only in batik fabric painting there are two ways, one with direct painting and another way in print.
material for making batik cloth, but the berkembanya era, began in batik on cloth made ​​of polyester and silk fabric. for batik on cloth made ​​of silk is quite expensive, compared to batik which is made of polyester or cloth, especially if batik is created by painting directly, instead of the mold.
basic material for making batik motif is a candle, which was previously painted with a pencil first and then after it has been fixed using catik that was given fluids and thermal wax painted on the cloth that had been in the picture motif.

basic material for making batik motif is a candle, which was previously painted with a pencil first and then after it has been fixed using catik that was given fluids and thermal wax painted on the cloth that had been in the picture motif. after the process was completed later in the dyeing process of color continue, the process is not so long ago only a few minutes, and then several times the coloring process is complete, then do the candles last discoloration with other chemicals. after all that process is complete, then the sun, there are other ways to hang the batik. batik cloth that has been through a lot of this process should not be in direct drying in the sun, but must be dry in the sun without direct sunlight.
Batik Java is a masterpiece heritage of Indonesia, in inheritance from generation to generation, each motif and colors always contain a different meaning. I honestly do not understand the meaning and the color of batik, but I could distinguish a little, where the coastal batik and batik which are not coastal. coastal batik usually have a brighter color, batik has areas in the north coast of Java island beach is cirebon, pekalongan, Jepara, lasem and Madura.
today more and more developing batik in Jogja and solo, batik is different in this area with the coastal batik, batik jogja and solo have an older color and calm, the meaning contained in the motif can be inspired from their ancestors and the influence of the teachings previous religious teachings that go to the island of Java.
