Decorative, beautiful material and beautiful craftsmanship, indonesian batik, originally mainly produced on the island of java, was included in 2009 by unesco on the list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity. The batik color printing process uses wax (“wax reserve” or “spare coloring” process). On the fabric obtained, different tones or contrasts are juxtaposed or superimposed, forming all kinds of patterns. Indonesian batik, a hand-dyed cotton and silk fabric, marks the lives of indonesians from the beginning of their existence until their death: infants are carried in large batik scarves specially tied and decorated with symbols intended to carry them luck, while the deceased are draped in batik shrouds. Fabrics decorated with designs suitable for everyday life are commonly worn in professional and academic settings; for weddings, pregnant women, puppet theaters and other forms of artistic expression, specially decorated variants are created. Clothing even plays a central role in certain rituals, such as offering ceremonies where royal batik is thrown into the crater of a volcano. Batik is dyed by artisans, who take pride in drawing patterns on the fabric by tracing lines and dots with hot wax; this resists vegetable dye and other dyes, allowing the craftsman to select different colors by dipping the fabric in a dye, then removing the wax with hot water and repeating the process with another color.
