Batik
Batik is derived from the Javanese word "big" which means writing, and "nitik" which means make a point. Batik refers to a cloth that has a bright and attractive pattern. Batik is in various forms, including batik, screen batik, dye batik, and batik. The batik technique has been known for over a thousand years, probably from ancient Egypt or Sumerian. It is available in several countries in West Africa such as Cameroon, Mali and Nigeria; or in Asia, such as Japan, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Batik has become a part of the world's culture, especially in the Malay world, and has long been the Southeast Asian countries. Indonesia's Batik, as a whole of technological, technological, and cultural-related motives and cultures, has been designated as the Humanitarian Heritage for Oral Culture and Nonbendawi since October 2, 2009. At present there are new patterns known as modern batik to meet the flavors of the ever-changing consumer, but the traditional batik is produced alongside it.
