Etymology

The term 'batik' is derived from the Javanese word 'titik,' which means 'to dot.' This method of textile decoration has its roots in Indonesia, particularly on the island of Java, where batik has been practiced for centuries. The art of batik dates back to ancient times, with historical evidence suggesting that it has been practiced since the 6th century. It is not only a form of artistic expression but also reflects cultural heritage and identity among the Indonesian people. UNESCO recognized Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2009, highlighting its significance in cultural practices. Over time, the batik technique spread to other parts of the world, gaining popularity and inspiring various adaptations in design and technique, while still holding its origins in the rich traditions of Indonesian art.
