Between The Philosophical Batik Batik Traditional and Modern Innovation

Between The Philosophical Batik Batik Traditional and Modern Innovation
 Tuesday, 17 January 2012 09:43 nebulaE-mail Print PDF
In a staging puppet philosophical values ​​of a story largely delivered in the form of speech and movement. The chanting of songs macapat filisofis value delivered in the form of lyrics and songs. In a piece of batik painting each stroke canthing is full of meaning of the batik. Each motif is a symbol of a great event as outlined in the form of images.
 
Batik past few years as if experiencing a period of reinassance. Batik clothes that were previously only used on special occasions, now a plural subject on different occasions. The designers and fashion magazines, magazine busy raising batik as the main theme that occurs batik fashion boom.

Remarkable resurgence occurred in the batik industry in various regions. Cities as centers of batik Solo, Yogya, Cirebon, Pekalongan, Lasem become so vivid as bergeliatnya batik industry in the country. Modernization of the various batik continues to occur is directly proportional to the increasing demand for goods and the inter business pesaingan batik producers. Effeknya innovations continue to evolve and continue to be modified and modernized batik.

In the city of Solo there are two kinds of batik, the first batik and batik saudagaran kratonan. Saudagaran batik is batik batik produced by entrepreneurs, for example in the area and Laweyan kauman. Batik is freely traded and used by ordinary people included in this type of batik. The second prohibition batik, the batik which should only be used by the royal family in particular events. The existence of batik is closed due to be worn only by certain circles in the palace.
 
The batik is now circulating widely and is considered to be the motive is not necessarily an actual ban ban real batik, because who really knows about the ban is only the royal family of batik, explains Quintanova.

With regard to the philosophical value of batik from Surakarta Drs. Narimo patiently explain more about it.

Gagrag Surakarta Sultanate batik motif is the designation Kraton Surakarta Sultanate. There are approximately 317 motif derived from the Kraton Surakarta, that's not including batik on fabric jarit currently appointed to a lot of batik batik-modern.

Before creating a batik, the batik makers undergo a process called lelaku where he contemplated an event and observing her surroundings. It causes each curve and each motif has a deep meaning canthing scratches when dissected. Philosophical value of batik is not only found in the historical background of the creation of a motif alone. Educational value of batik is also reflected in the manner of usage and time usage.

Batik motif has the exclusivity of different means not all orag can use a batik motif. Batik Batik is the designation for the ban should only be used by the royal family or nobility. Slopes or Parang is one example of a ban motif.

Here are some batik motif and brief explanation:
1. Batik Parang or slopes by its grip should only be used by Sentono dalem (son of the queen). Slopes derived from the word's arm (the hillside). History of this motif begins when there is an escape from the palace of the royal family Kartasura. The King family was forced into hiding in the mountains to avoid the danger
                                                               [Motif Parang]
 

2. Types of batik Truntum used when someone held a celebration party. Truntum motif was found by the wife of Pakubuwana V. At that time he was serving a sentence for violating the rules of the kingdom. One night he pondered and stared at the starry sky in the sky and then he poured what he saw with chanthing so be truntum batik motif.
                                                                [Motif Truntum]

3. Sido Mukti batik worn by the bride and groom. Sida mukti itself melambangakan a hope, so once a bride and groom to use cloth sidamukti then came the desire to achieve a successful new life or in the Java language called mukti.

4. Sido Drajad batik worn by-laws when the wedding ceremony

How to use batik also has educational value in itself, here are some descriptions of how the use of batik cloth.

For batik children wear belts wolo way. The use of this type allows children to move freely. Philosophically speaking freely interpreted the wearing of seat wolo moral, according to the souls of children who are still free and immature and not yet have a moral responsibility in society.

When a teenager is no longer a person wearing a batik by belts but by jarit wolo. Jarit long used has its own meaning. Seamakin jarit display the higher the degree of a person in society. The shorter jarit then the lower the person's social strata in society.

For adult use of batik has its own grip between men and women. In men pleat placed on the left. While the women placed pleat on the right, which means nengeni. This means that a princess must not violate the will of her husband.

Modern Batik

Maybe all this people are still confused with what is called modern batik. Quintanova, one observer batik as well as SBC committee, explained the term in the context of modern batik can be viewed from several aspects:

The first modern in the sense that these two motifs and modern in the technical manufacture. Examples include the modernization of combining two motifs in batik motif fabric such as a combination of slope with a motif kawung-kawung slope. Contemporary batik motives even applying modern or abstract even in technical fabrics treated with the batik-making.

The second is the modern technical terms. Batik printing is a form of technical modenisasi batik making. But the term batik printing is not actually known people including batik because it is not through the stages of making batik. The process of making batik briefly go through several stages, drawing patterns, the coating with the night, coloring, and the last lorot process (removal of the night). Without such a process can not be said batik fabric, but only a batik textiles.


Another technical innovation in the manufacture of printing is done at night like Batik Kliwonan Tourism Village where the nights are hot printed on a cloth in bulk. With the process of making batik is made possible by large amounts and in a short time but does not deviate from the rule-making process of batik.

Innovations need to be able to survive batik

This is similar to that disclosed Arifatul Uliana, daughter of Solo tahun2009, modern batik batik is an attempt to get more popular in the community. In order to reach young consumers a modern batik existence of modern batik is very necessary. With varying motives are no longer so young people are reluctant menggenakan batik fabric and batik stereotype slowly as clothes for the more "senior" can be eroded.


According to Uli philosophical grip dikorbakan batik should not continue to occur despite the modernization process. Philosophical value of batik can be maintained by creating a new motif with grip-grip which already exist. Without variation and modernization of batik will seem monotonous, and can not survive entrenched to this day.

Preserve the Batik Philosophical Education

The creators of the new batik motifs need to be more careful in expressing his creations, at least one motif creator has the knowledge and literature about batik batik-earlier. Motif that was created in order to not violate the rules and standard that already exists.

Batik is now a fashion trend actually means is a capital to introduce the history and philosophy of batik in the community. Cultural education is needed so that when someone is wearing a batik he was not only a fashion trend to wear it on the grounds alone but accompanied by the realization that batik is a cultural heritage that deserves to be preserved.

Educational effort of philosophical value batik batik can be done by bringing to school either in the form of lessons or extracurricular intrakulikuler. With these efforts, especially the young generation of students become familiar with batik in more depth. So in the future batik still prevail. Batik exhibition that was held to place more emphasis on the introduction of the history of batik, not only the introduction of a glimpse of batik cloth without any further no more profound.

Do not let the cultural assets are priceless lost with the loss of our concern for culture-uri nguri sendiri.Dengan those efforts batik booming trend will not fade with each passing fashion trend.

History of Batik Pekalongan

History of Batik Pekalongan
 
Although no official records began to be known when the batik in Pekalongan, but according to estimates already in Pekalongan batik around the year 1800. In fact, according to data recorded at the Ministry, there is a motif that made 1802, like a small tree motif in the form of clothing material.
However, significant development is expected to occur after a major war in the year 1825-1830 in Mataram kingdom which is often referred to war or war Diponegoro Java.
With the onset of this battle royal family and urged his followers to leave many areas of the kingdom. They then spread to the East and West. Later in the area - a new area that the family and followers develop batik. To the east of Solo and Yogyakarta batik batik patterns that have been perfected in Mojokerto and Tulungagung to spread to Gresik, Surabaya and Madura.
Westward batik being developed in Banyumas, Kebumen, Tegal, Cirebon and Pekalongan. Given this migration, the batik Pekalongan preexisting growing. Over time, Batik Pekalongan have evolved considerably in comparison with other regions.
Batik in this area developed around the coastal areas, namely in the area of ​​the city and county Buaran Pekalongan, Pekajangan and Wonopringgo.Batik Pekalongan, between the Past and BATIK pekalongan a very distinctive because it relies entirely on hundreds of small businesses, rather than on a handful of capital-intensive businesses. Since the past decades up to now, most of the production process of batik is done in homes.
As a result, batik is closely integrated with community life Pekalongan is now divided into two administrative regions, namely Pekalongan and Pekalongan district, Central Java. Batik is the breath of life everyday citizens Pekalongan. He lived citizens live and Pekalongan.
Nonetheless, as with other small and medium enterprises in Indonesia, batik enterprises are now facing a transition period. The development of an increasingly complex world and the emergence of new competing countries, like Vietnam, challenged the batik industry to quickly transform itself into a more modern direction.
Failed to pass through this transitional period, batik may only be remembered for generations to come through the history books. At that time, the pattern of batik artisans still work greatly influenced the agricultural cycle. During the time of planting or harvest time, they are fully working in the fields. However, at the time of planting and harvest time, they work entirely as an artisan batik. AGE has been changed.
Workers in Pekalongan batik is no longer dominated by farmers. They mostly come from local young people who want to make a living. Their lives may be entirely dependent on batik work.
What batik industry faces today is probably the same as the problems faced by other industries in Indonesia, especially those based on small and medium entrepreneurs.
Issue, among others, include decrease in competitiveness as indicated by the selling price is higher than the selling price of similar products produced elsewhere. In fact, quality products that dihasikan better than competitor countries entrepreneurs Indonesia products.
The cause of this problem varies, ranging from low productivity and worker skills, lack of initiative of entrepreneurs to innovate products, to the old infrastructure support machine production process.
