Indonesia has a long civilization in a wide variety of cultural and social. Although not all the countries India, China, Egypt and Persia. Civilization that still can be seen and we feel we can even learn it. Civilization is the art of batik.

 
 


According to a literature, batik already in the 16th century there are even some who say in the 14th century. According to some sources of history, the art of batik is a habit of the population and also the nobility and the royal family, especially for women



Batik is the ancestral culture and heritage of the state of Indonesia which need to be preserved, there are three types of batik is batik, stamp batik and Batik Painting. Batik is one of the assets of Indonesian national pride. Actually, from where the word "Batik" come from? The word batik comes from Java, which is from the word "amba" which means "writing" and "point" which means "point" the two words are combined into a "batik", meaning to write a point by point to produce beautiful work.

Simple and perhaps for some people has no value, but for us the art of batik is our identity in the world arena. So we really appreciate it.
