The Meaning of the word Batik
Where does the word batik come from? There are several theories on the origins
of this craft. The word "batik" is Indonesian in origin. The word
batik occurs in Javanese as Ambatik, which actually means drawing and writing.
Batik has evolved around the principle that wax and water repel each other,
therefore an area of fabric that has been covered with wax is unable to accept
dye. The Indonesian word "tik", meaning a drop (referring to the
small drops of hot wax), shows how the word batik was derived.
The History of Batik
Batik is a very ancient craft dating back at least two thousand years. Batik
has been continuously practice in Java for centuries. It was around 1500 that
travelers first brought back tales of highly artistic batik fabric on which
people worked for months on end. At the close of the last century the technique
was introduced to European arts and crafts. Batik has even more enthusiasts
today because it produces excellent effects.
It can be defined as a method of applying a colored design on to textiles
by waxing those parts that are not to be dyed. Evidence of its practice has
been discovered in most Eastern and Middle Eastern countries including India,
China, Japan, Persia and Egypt, but although its actual source is unknown,
it was on the island of Java in Indonesia that the art reached its peak development.
Through the centuries Javanese craftsmen have perfected the art, reflecting
the culture and religion of their country in the richness of colors and the
detail of the designs on their fabrics. These traditional designs have been
passed on from one generation to another and are mainly based on the flora
and fauna of their surroundings and this form of expression adapts to society
now as easily as it did many years ago. Clothes worked in batik are represented
frequently in classical literature of Java. Any mention of magnificent dress
always signified batik work. Batik apparel was formerly the clothing of aristocracy.
The peasant woman wove the cloth but the lady did the batik. She had time
to spare and hers was the gentle hand needed for the work, while the servants
attended to the household duties.
Just as the Japanese lady concocts artistic floral arrangements so, even today, the educated Javanese does batik on fabrics, and in this she develops a highly artistic sense. The stylized designs include the native flora, butterflies and birds of paradise. Moreover, these ladies are able to work their individual designs harmoniously into an extensive piece of work
