			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>              Indonesia is an archipelagic state of the most widespread throughout the world. Located in Southeast Asia and consists of various islands, as well as of more than two hundred thousand. Acreage about five times its population double than Japan and more than two hundred million people.<br />
Regarding the dyes and traditional weaving techniques, said the technique also reach as many of the island or tribe. Motive or a different color based on each village. Therefore, Indonesia is the leading country in the field of dyes and traditional weaving.<br />
Besides batik is very loved by Japanese people with the name &#8220;Java Sarasa&#8221;, in Indonesia there are techniques such as dye and ikat weaving, simbut, tritik, rainbows, bulb, and others. Among them, batik, tie, rainbow, and tritik (it was all Indonesian) has become an international word. Background Indonesian words are based on results of operations of the Dutch researchers Antrophology like Rouffaer, Jasper, and so forth. Since the late 19th century until the early 20th century, it was introduced by Rouffer in Europe.<br />
Batik-producing areas is about southern Sumatra (Palembang and Jambi), Java, Madura Island, and part of the island of Bali. On the island of Java, the interior (located in Yogyakarta and Surakarta), and coastal areas that are represented in Pekalongan and Cirebon batik are the two biggest producing region.<br />
About the history of batik, the light origin is not because there is no data, literature, and the real object cloths. All that has become defective because the climate of Indonesia is the tropical climate of high temperature and humidity<br />

high air.<br />
Then, batik handicraft selected soft for women and women of the royal family and royal palace. Batik increasingly spread in the palace. However, laymen can not batik because its raw material is rare and too expensive. In the late 16th century in the coastal areas, the trade got very rapid progress, because it&#8217;s growing regional trading business. So the big quantity batik material (white cloth and candles) are imported from India, East or Sumatra, the price will come down on a large So, the layman can also create a symbol batik ruler of the kings and nobles. Then, at the beginning of the 17th century, dyes called &#8220;soga&#8221; was found, and at the end of the 17th century, began batik with a view to sales and profits. After that, under Dutch rule promoted the creation.<br />
In the circumstances, the king and the sultans of Yogyakarta and Surakarta establish a special motive for the king, the royal family and nobility, namely the motive restrictions. They wear batik batik-patterned and differentiate ban laymen. When Japanese troops entered the military government, the palace was facing funding difficulties are abnormal, and consequently forced to release the ban on selling batik and batik patterns valuable. Finally batik prohibition was abolished and ordinary people should wear them.<br />
Around the mid-19th century, after the &#8220;canting seal&#8221; (usually called just &#8220;cap&#8221; only) remade, total production increases. As a result of being produced at the factory batik, batik number of factories and workshops to increase, as well as batik industry was born. After World War?, Batik industry withdrew because of lack of raw materials, but the order to rebuild under Sukarno who threw wisdom &#8220;Clothing Food People&#8221; who see batik as general clothing. In 1955, GKBI (Indonesian Batik Cooperatives Association) established in 1948 in Yogyakarta get protection as the price benefits of white cloth and circulation of monopoly rights. The Government aims to supply cheap batik to the layperson. The batik in various regions produce many benefits under the policy. However, from 1956 until 1957 all kinds of cheap clothing being imported along with the loosening of import restrictions, so the golden age of batik entrepreneurs are finished. Then, the awareness of people on clothes point of rapid change among city dwellers, children, and men. Therefore, people who wear Western clothes grew further.<br />
Under Suharto&#8217;s order, the wisdom of economic progress is run the policy of protection was abolished batik entrepreneurs. Ironically target Sukarno&#8217;s wisdom, realized by the clothing and textile companies are developing new economic environment. Then, most of the businessmen who became regular batik batik making cheap pressured by the above companies, was forced to switch to another business or closed the business.<br />
In early 1970s, batik print technologies emerge. Therefore, batik and batik print increasingly displaced by batik. Without needless to say, batik market and compete with batik batik print that can be mass produced. In the circumstances, worried about the future of batik and batik tradition. If face-to-face fabrics sold by the consumer&#8217;s position, what is difference between batik and batik prints made by traditional techniques? Basically batik print is not made as a high-quality goods, but made a low-quality goods.<br />
Conversely, Iwan Tirta, Josephine Komara, and so create &#8220;a new generation of batik&#8221; that have a high-class luxury and a sense that such use of gold and silver threads and use silk instead of cotton. Batiks that they became popular among women Indonesian cities and abroad. New generation of batik entrepreneurs usually called &#8220;the creator of textile&#8221; or &#8220;textile creators.&#8221;<br />
More and more light in the early 1990s, the general market demand for batik is divided into three, namely high-class, middle class and low class. Within these markets, in terms of quantity of low-class market occupies an absolute comparison because most of the population lives in villages, and then there are many women that a history of low education and income. Therefore, the market becomes bigest batik low class. Demand high grade batik is still strong because there is wearing the traditional batik motifs and traditional colored dress up time in Java.<br />
The above happened to common in the modern economy which is capital and technology giants urged machine small traditional industries that depend the job at hand.<br />
Batik interesting world is not only a new generation of batik, batik, and batik course. Also, do not forget the clothes, kelongtong goods, and production of batik print interior like a flower, eagle, machetes,<br />

and others. These items have become popular among both the Indonesian and foreign people because it can reassert its identity for the people of Indonesia. For foreigners, such as tourists, the goods mentioned above becomes a memento journey.<br />
Finally, the attraction of batik is not three markets and goods scattered batik, but stimulate each other, increase the value of the setting, and play the harmony, which coexist and prosper together.           </p>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px;">Javanese traditional batik, especially from Yogyakarta and Surakarta, has special meanings rooted to the Javanese conceptualization of the universe. Traditional colours include indigo, dark brown, and white which represent the three major Hindu Gods (Brahm?, Visnu, and ?iva). This is related to the fact that natural dyes are only available in indigo and brown. Certain patterns can only be worn by nobility; traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines of greater width indicated higher rank. Consequently, during Javanese ceremonies, one could determine the royal lineage of a person by the cloth he or she was wearing.</div>
