Motive-Motive Batik
In the event batik exhibition in Jakarta and other cities often visitor asked me "What are the benefits of batik or batik Trusmi Cirebonan compared with batik-batik from other regions?".
In my opinion that basically batik-batik produced by batik centers in various regions in general are fine and have a diverse style motif. Thus the characteristics and uniqueness of the area batik-batik batik can not be said that one is better than other areas. The uniqueness of motifs and patterns resulting from batik-batik in different areas of strength and wealth is extraordinary, especially for the culture of Indonesian batik.
Does not exist in any country that has a wealth of designs such as batik motif which is owned by the Indonesian nation. A very proud we all are, in each and every province has a design and motifs with a distinctive motif that uses a language naming their respective regions. For example, the motif of Aceh is Aceh Door, Chakra Doenya, Bungong Jeumpa. Ducks Return From there Riau evening, Bud biting, Cloud Larat and the Veil. Batik from Java, including Jelaprang (Pekalongan), Sida Mukti, Sida Luhur (Solo), Patran Keris, Paksinaga Liman, Sawat bride (Cirebon), etc..
To find out about the wealth of evidence of the many designs of Indonesian batik motifs simplest example can be seen in the area of West Java, in this region there are dozens of them from wilyah batik is most East Cirebon, there Indramayu northern region, then toward the West and There South Ciamis District, County and City of Tasikmalaya, District Garut.Walaupun still in one province and the same cultures (Sundanese culture), but we can meet the different batik motifs and ornaments that much different from one district to another district. As in the Cirebon area with Indramayu have the character and motives of different designs, even more so between Cirebon and Garut district has a different motif, pattern and decoration a very significant difference. Differences are influenced by cultures and levels of expertise from his batik artisans. The materials used to make batik relatively equally good from a canting, cap shape and type of candle. But when the production process there are times when the condition element run ground water quality in different pH can affect the final staining results. Similarly, the nature of patience and fortitude batik craftspeople in each region, will also be able to affect the final quality of batik produces.
Cirebon batik production centers located in Cirebon Plered Trusmi village that supposedly lies outside the city of Cirebon, 4 km towards the west or toward the direction of Bandung. In the village and surrounding Trusmi there are more than 1000 workers or craftsmen batik. Batik labor comes from several areas around the village Trusmi, such as the village gamel, Kaliwulu, Wotgali and Kalitengah.
In general, Cirebon batik including batik into the coastal groups, but also some batik batik Cirebon belonging to the palace. This is because of Cirebon has two palaces and the royal palace that is Keratonan Kasepuhan Kanoman, supposedly based on the history of these two palaces appeared several Cirebonan Classical batik design, which until now was done by some rural communities such as motive Trusmi Mega Clouds, Paksinaga Liman, Patran Keris , Patran Kang, Lion Umbrella, Singa Barong, Banjar Balong, Chicken Alas, Sawat bride, Katewono, Mount Giwur, Simbar Menjangan, Simbar Kendo and others.
Some important things that can become a feature or characteristic that is also owned by batik Cirebon is as follows:
batik a.Desain Cirebonan nuanced traditional classical in general always includes wadasan motif (rock) in certain parts of the motif. Besides, there are cloud-shaped decorative element (mega) on the parts that are adjusted with its main motif.
b.Batik Cirebonan traditional classics have always been characterized by the color of the background (base fabric) younger than the color line on main motive.
c.Bagian background or base fabric is usually clean look of black stains or colors that are not desired in the manufacturing process. Stain and black color can be caused by the use of batik wax is broken, so that the process of staining dyes that are not desired permeate the fabric.
d.Garis-line motifs on batik Cirebonan using a single line and thin (small) approximately 0.5 mm with color lines older than the color of the background. This is because in the process of batik Cirebon excel in the closure (blocking area) by using a special canting to make the process of closure, that is by using a canting wall and bleber (made of bamboo sticks on the ends are cut threads of cotton are thick and entered on one end of a bamboo rod.)
e.Warna-dominant color batik traditional classical Cirebonan usually has a yellow color (Sogan rubbing), basic colors of black and beige, or dark red, dark blue, black base color with beige or ivory white fabric.
f.Batik Cirebonan tend to choose some fabric left blank background without filled with decorative shaped tanahan or rentesan (shaped ornamental plants ganggeng). Decorative shapes or rentesan tanahan is usually used by batik-batik from Pekalongan.
Still with batik Cirebonan, but have different characteristics with the previous group Cirebonan coastal batik. Batik Cirebonan coastal strongly influenced by the character of coastal communities which generally have a soul open and receptive to the influence of foreign culture. Progress on the present, which is owned by the batik coloring Cirebonan more colorful and use the elements of a more terangdan bright colors, as well as having forms of decoration that is free to combine elements of animal and floral forms of various arts.
In regions sekitarpelabuhan usually many strangers who stopped, anchored to a different ethnic marriages occur (assimilation), then Cirebonan coastal batik is more likely to receive from outside cultural influences brought by immigrants. Cirebon batik So this one is more likely to be able to meet or follow consumer tastes from various regions (rather the fulfillment of commodity trade and commerciality), so that the colors of batik coastal Cirebonan more attractive by using lots of color. Cirebonan batik production at present consists of Write batik, batik batik Cap and write the combination cap. In the year 1990 - 2000 there are some communities Cirebonan batik artisans who produce batik cloth Cirebonan with hand screen printing techniques (hand printing), but lately the hand silk-screening technique is almost extinct, due to competition from the machine screen printing techniques which are owned by companies that more large. Growth Trusmi batik seems to move quickly beginning in 2000, it can be seen from batik showrooms popping up around the village main street and Panembahan Trusmi. Batik showroom owner Trusmi almost entirely owned by the original Trusmi society although there are one or two are owned by the owners of capital from outside Trusmi.

The process of making batikIn the development of this batik art gradually imitated by the people nearest and subsequently expanded into the work of women in the household to fill his spare time. Furthermore, batik clothes that used only the royal family, then became a popular folk clothes, both women and men.
White fabric that is used when it is the result of homespun. Medium dye materials used consisted of plants native to Indonesia who made himself among others of: noni tree, tall, soga, indigo, and the material is made from soda ash soda, as well as salts made from mud soil.
So this batik in Indonesia has been known since the time of Majapahit kingdom and continued to grow until the next kingdom. The start spreading this batik art belongs to the people of Indonesia and Java in particular tribe is after the end of the eighteenth century or early nineteenth century. Produced batik batik is all to the early twentieth century and printed batik is known only after the world war was over unity or around 1920.
