Beringhardjo Market

Like Sukawati Market in Bali, Yogyakarta has Beringharjo market. Beringharjo market is one of the largest traditional market in Yogyakarta and has hundreds of souvenir goods cheap and available. As you enter the market you will agree that the market Beringharjo can be called 'a small Yogya'.

The market is located in the center and easy to find because it is located in the north of the Kraton Palace, and in the around Malioboro street.. It all started with the traditional method, the bargaining process for packaging. The market is full of national and international tourists every day trying to find a unique souvenir from Yogya. You can haggle the price with the seller so do not be afraid to barter for as cheap as possible, because if you are lucky, the seller can sell goods at a price you ask.

Three Influential Religion On Batik Art

Since the days of the Majapahit Kingdom, batik art is influenced by three religions, namely, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Most of the collection of batik Surakarta, Mangkunegaran, Yogyakarta, and Pakualaman get the influence of these three religions.

Less is more similar motifs created this palace of the four, only differ in the modification. Hindu influences seen in the picture motif eagle, flames, birds or tree of life. Meanwhile, more swastika motifs from Buddhist influence.

Abstract motifs began to be present when the influence of Islam. Prohibition of religion in the intact living drawing, making the batik artists deal with abstract animal images.

The extinction of batik

It's ironic variety of batik in Indonesia is recognized as the cultural heritage of the archipelago, but it is different at madison southern sewulan precisely in the village and its surroundings.

Sewulan a fief of the kingdom of Mataram batik culture is now almost extinct swallowed up by the modernization of technology in which prices of stamp batik and printing batik is cheaper than price of written batik.

Frequently changing times currently live 5 people who work as batik and even then only as a sideline after doing the routine household activities and the age old sudan even this batik is the next generation aversereluctant because the coloring (Wedel) or immersion should be taken to Bekonang, Sukoharjo, Middle of Java or Solo.

Clothes Batik' Trend - Love of Indonesia or the emotion of a moment

Lately, when I noticed, batik-print clothing is popular among women, especially teenagers for everyday wear. Previously, batik clothes more often used only for formal occasions. The emergence of trends such as this raises two questions in my mind: does it shape attitudes toward the work of their love of traditional Indonesia or even this form of reaction to their anger because there are neighbors who claim batik as "owned" them?

Differences written batik and stamp batik

The development of batik in the present is quite encouraging, this positive impact on batik-batik producers in various regions. Request batik or batik is extremely high, although the market needs is already partially filled batik with batik textiles manufactured by textile companies that have capital.Some batik craftsmen wanted to pay in advance so that production can be smoothly and the buyer will receive the requested orders, it is reminiscent of the 70s which at the time that batik is also experiencing a considerable amount of demand.

Differences written batik and stamp batik can be seen from some of the following:

Stamp Batik Process

Manufacturing Process

• Cloth placed on a flat table that has been coated with a soft material
• Night boiled until melted and kept liquid temperatures tonight remain in kondiri 60 s / d of 70 degree Celsius
• Cap canting then inserted into the liquid the night before (about 2 cm in the bottom of a submerged fluid seal canting night)

• So it will appear two colors, namely the original base color of cloth that had covered the night, and the color after the coloring process earlier.
• If you will be given a combination of coloring again, eating should begin again from the knowl-stamp-an evening of fluids - coloring - penggodogan again.
• So that the necessary process repeated for each color.
• The interesting thing about batik is the process of mating colors, because the surface of the cloth who has previously diwarna will diwarna again on the subsequent dyeing process, so it needs special expertise in the selection process & wedding colors.
• Therefore the coloring process is repeated and thorough in every pore of cloth, the colors in batik tend to be more durable and long lasting compared to other batik.
• The last process of making batik is a process of cleansing and enlightenment colors with soda. Then dried and ironed.
