INDONESIA BATIK HISTORY

INDONESIA BATIK HISTORY

 

 

 

 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.
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.
Besides batik is very loved by Japanese people with the name "Java Sarasa", in Indonesia there are techniques like ikat dyeing and weaving, simbut, tritik, rainbows, bulb, and others. Among them, batik, tie, rainbow, and tritik (it was all Indonesian) has become an international word. Background penginternasionalan 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.
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. 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 high humidity.
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's growing regional trading business. So the big sejemlah batik material (white cloth and candles) are imported from India, East or Sumatra, the price will come down on a large-basaran. 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 "soga" 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.
In that situation, the king and the sultans of Yogyakarta and Surakarta establish a special motive for the king, the royal family and nobles, that is 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.
Around the mid-19th century, after the "canting seal" (usually called just "cap" only) direkacipta, total production increases. As a result began to be produced in a factory batik, batik 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 "Clothing Food People" 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.
Under Suharto's order, the wisdom of economic progress is run the policy of protection was abolished batik entrepreneurs. Ironically Sukarno's policy target, is 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 other businesses or closing the business.
In the 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'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. Conversely, Iwan Tirta, Josephine Komara, and so create "a new generation of batik" that have a high-class luxury and a sense that such use of gold and silver threads and use silk instead of cotton. Batik they became popular among women Indonesian cities and abroad. New generation of batik entrepreneurs usually called "the creator of textile" or "textile creators."
Increasingly clear in the early 1990s, the general market demand for batik is grouped into three classes, high, middle-class and low class. Within these markets, the market in terms of quantity of low grade because the occupying ratio of the absolute majority of the population lives in villages, and then there are many women that a history of low education and income. Therefore, the lower the market became terbasar batik class. Demand high grade batik is still strong because there is wearing the traditional batik motifs and traditional colored dress up time in Java.
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.
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, 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.
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.

This opinion was adopted and raised by other researchers and experts in the Indonesian nation, is also the result of research of Western scholars. Among Western scholars, including this group, is Hazeau, Brandes, Kats, Rentse, and Kruyt.
The reason they are strong enough. Among other things, that the art of puppet is still very closely related to sociocultural and religious state of the Indonesian people, especially the Javanese. Panakawan, the most significant figures in the wayang, namely Semar, Gareng, Petruk, Bagong, there are only puppets in Indonesia, and not in another country.

However, since the 1950s, the books * wayangan seemed to agree that the puppets are coming from Java Island, and in no way be imported from other countries.

The literature on the subject of puppet stories are written by the poet in Indonesia, since the X century Among other things, literary texts of Ramayana Book of Old Javanese language Kakawin written during the reign Balitung (989-910), which is a spin-off from the Book of the Ramayana written by poet In * he, Valmiki.
Furthermore, Java poets no longer simply translating the Ramayana and the Mahabharata into Old Javanese language, but compose and retell the philosophy of Java by entering into it. For example, works of professor Kanwa Arjunawiwaha Kakawin, which is a composition which descended on the book of the Mahabharata. Spin-other, more tangible difference between the original version of the story derigan In * her is Baratayuda Kakawin work professor and professor Panuluh Sedah. This great work done during the reign of King Jayabaya, king of Kediri (1130-1160).
