Compare the different batiks from southeast Asia

• Batik is the art of wax resistance techniques applied to fabrics originating in South East Asia, on the north coast of the island of Java, Indonesia.
• Indonesian batik is unique and unequaled.
• Centuries ago, the demand for Indonesian batik skyrocketed, and Indonesian batik knock-offs were produced and sold throughout the trade routes to Asia, India, the Middle East, and Africa.
• To prevent the production of knock-offs, famous batik artists signed their work, which noted authentic ness of the piece.
• Batik has had a long-standing importance for the Indonesian people, representing their culture, history, and religion throughout centuries of outside influences from foreign cultures.
• Batiks were also transformed onto silk fabrics, which in Chinese culture was a noted sign of wealth and prestige.
• The Japanese reign in Indonesia was short lived but made a historical mark on Indonesian batiks with dense floral and butterfly motifs.
• Hokkokai, the term describing the style of Japanese influenced batiks, appeared during the 1940s when the Japanese were colonizing Indonesia.
• The hokkokai, similar to other foreign influenced designs, was used to promote nationalists cause, cementing Japan’s dominance during that time (Smith 1999: 49-50).
• Dye techniques also helped scholars determine the time period and location the batik was produced.
• The mixture of red-blue is known to the Javanese as “bang-biru”, and deep reds are known as “lasem”.
• Dyes were taken from roots of trees, plants, and leaves.
