The word “batik” is Indonesian in origin, even if the concept was known by Egyptians and Indians. It is known to be more than a millenium old, and there are evidences that cloth decorated through some form of resist technique was in use in the early centuries AD in several West African, Middle-Eastern and Asian communities.
The word Batik is originally an Idonesian-Malay word and means to dot .This art of textile is spread in the hindu and malay world, but Indonesia is certainly the heart of the Batik.This way of painting and coloring textile has reached its higher degree of excellence in the Island of Java , in cities like Solo, Yogyakarta, Pekalongan or Cirebon. From Java this ‘batik’ cloth was exported to other islands of the archipelago and to the Malay peninsula.
On the 17th century, the Javanese sultanate of Mataram accorded important ceremonial functions to the Batik clothes. Sultan Agung of Mataram is known to have dressed in white cotton decorated with Indigo blue, and his court dancers wore kain kembangan colored with a red organic dye.
During the past two or three centuries batik has become one of the principal means of expression of the spiritual and cultural values of Southeast Asia.
Although the process of decorating cloth through the process of batik is found in several regions in Africa or India and even in some South East Asian countries, the batik of Indonesia is unique and unequaled. Indonesian Batik is made in several regions, but the center of the art is Central Java, in cities like Yogyakarta, Solo, Cirebon, Pekalongan and Indramayu.
The pride of Indonesians to wear batik till the present day has preserve this art of textile.
The beauty of Batik is a tribute to the patience, creativity of the woman of Java, the main island of Indonesia. Credit should be also given to men who prepare the cloth and handle the dyeing and finishing process.
Batik is generally thought of as the most quintessentially Indonesian textile. Motifs of flowers, twinning plants, leaves buds, flowers, birds, butterflies, fish, insects and geometric forms are rich in symbolic association and variety; there are about three thousand recorded batik patterns.

Fractal is a mathematical way to generate amazing pictures from simple rules, beating more than averages human artists. When fractal is used as motif in Batik (Indonesian traditional garment) the result is just astounding (and expensive too of course).

| Batik Fractal, Buketan Design |
The idea was brought by the Pixel People Project. They designed the motif by using a fractal software, then sent it to the batik craftsman, known as Komar, who produced the batik using the traditional tools (canting, malam, dye, etc.). Their innovation got instant recognitions, i.e. the ministry of Research & Technology kindly sponsored the innovation. However, they also received some critiques that the motif is out of pakem (the proper way). In my opinion though, this is the modern way of Batik. It just great. I saw the Batiks at their exhibition, all were the high class batik I cannot afford (Lucky me, Komar said he will send a gift for me).
So where is my lines in this story ? Well, I’m the one that developed the Batik Fractal Software, known as iBatik. You may try the light weight Applet from the People Pixel Project web site. The complete program is still in alpha stage, so it is not released yet. Stay tuned.

Batik as traditional cloth that has been created since century ago, become specific cloth cold not be separated from Indonesian life. You will find Batik almost in every regencies and Municipalities at Indonesia.
Batik is not only used as fashion, but has philosophy for Indonesian daily life. Indonesians always wear Batik when they are born until death. Indonesian mothers always carry on their baby using Batik for lullaby their baby, so that the baby feel comfortable. The baby feel tender and smooth because Batik is made from Mori cloth. The processed of making Batik will take three months at least, even few highest Batik quality will take long time to process.
Wisdom mother always choose Batik with good hope philosophy to carry on baby , in order the baby always health, strong and good future for their family and nation. New bride couple will wear Batik, called jarit when getting marriage ceremonial. The design of jarit reflect good hope for happy marriage and avoid Parang design, because Parang design reflect sword for battle.
You will see varieties design Batik in Indonesia; because every island creates Batik depend on culture, philosophy, Way of life and spirit of life. Different island has different philosophy, design and purposes. Batik is also used to cover corpse when people pass away, the design must reflect eternity. Batik is used in varieties purposes so that the Batik designers create Batik for different purpose also.
The Government as motivator and facilitator of Batik, give and support capital stimulant and find market for Batik, even few Regencies and Municipalities make policy to wear Batik for local government employers. Few popular designers create Batik more fashionable so that the young people are not ashamed and look trendy to wear it. The efforts that have been doing by stake holders and Government, improve Batik popularity and price higher than before. The fashionable Batik motivates Batik entrepreneurs to find niche market and find strategies to market Batik, include marketing on the net.
