The art of fabric coloring with coloring techniques using the night or candle is one of the ancient art forms. Discovery in Egypt shows that this technique has been known since the 4th century BC, with the discovery of mummy wrapping cloth which is also coated with the night to form a pattern. In Asia, batik-like techniques were also applied in China during the T'ang Dynasty (618-907) and in India and Japan during the Nara Period (645-794). In Africa, techniques such as batik are known by the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria, as well as the Soninke and Wolof tribes in Senegal. [4]. In Indonesia, batik is believed to have existed since the Majapahit era, and became very popular at the end of the seventeenth century or the beginning of the nineteenth century. The resulting batik is all written batik until the beginning of the twentieth century and new printed batik became known after World War I or around the 1920s. [5] Although the word "batik" comes from the Javanese language, the presence of batik on Java itself is not recorded. G.P. Rouffaer argued that this batik technique might be introduced from India or Sri Lanka in the 6th or 7th century. [4] On the other hand, J.L.A. Brandes (Dutch archeologist) and F.A. Sutjipto (Indonesian historian) believes that the tradition of batik is native to areas such as Toraja, Flores, Halmahera, and Papua. It should be noted that the area is not an area influenced by Hinduism but is known to have an ancient tradition of making batik. [6] G.P. Rouffaer also reported that the gringsing pattern had been known since the 12th century in Kediri, East Java. He concluded that a pattern like this could only be formed using a canting tool, so he argued that canting was found in Java in the surrounding period. [6] Fabric carving details resembling batik patterns are worn by Prajnaparamita, the goddess statue of Buddhist wisdom from 13th century East Java. The clothing details display a pattern of plant tendrils and intricate flowers that are similar to traditional Javanese batik patterns that can be found now. This shows that making intricate batik patterns that can only be made with canting has been known in Java since the 13th century or even earlier. The legend in 17th century Malay literature, Sulalatus Salatin, tells Admiral Hang Nadim who was ordered by Sultan Mahmud to sail to India to get 140 sheets of litter fabric with a pattern of 40 types of flowers on each sheet. Unable to fulfill the order, he made the cloths himself. But unfortunately his ship sank on the way home and was only able to carry four sheets to make the Sultan disappointed. [7] By some interpreters, who? litter was interpreted as batik. In European literature, this batik technique was first told in the book History of Java (London, 1817) written by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. He was once the Governor of England on Java during Napoleon's occupation of the Netherlands. In 1873 a Dutch merchant Van Rijekevorsel gave a piece of batik which he obtained during a visit to Indonesia to the Ethnic Museum in Rotterdam and that at the beginning of the 19th century batik began to reach its golden age. When exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900, Indonesian batik fascinated the public and artists. [4] Since industrialization and globalization, which introduced automation techniques, new types of batik have emerged, known as stamp batik and printed batik, while traditional batik produced with handwriting techniques using canting and night is called batik. At the same time immigrants from Indonesia to the Malaysia Persekutuan Territory also brought Batik with them. Now batik has developed in several places outside Java, even abroad. In Indonesia batik has also been developed in Aceh with Aceh batik, Cual Batik in Riau, Papuan Batik, Kalimantan Sasirangan batik, and Minahasa Batik. Thank you
