Batik, a traditional Indonesian textile that was designated by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity

Batik is a traditional Indonesian textile that was designated by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009.

Based on production methods, batik is categorized into :

1. Batik Tulis (hand-drawn batik)

2. Batik Cap (stamp-waxed batik)

3. Batik Print (factory-made textiles with batik-style patterns).

*Batik Tulis* is created entirely by hand; the white fabric is first sketched with a pencil, after which a *canting* tool and wax are used to cover the design elements.

The process of making hand-drawn Batik

*Batik Cap* is produced using a patterned stamp tool and wax.
Meanwhile, *Batik Print* refers to factory-made, mass-produced textiles featuring batik-style patterns.

Due to the more complex and time-consuming production process, *Batik Tulis* is more expensive than *Batik Cap*—and significantly more expensive than *Batik Print* textiles.

The price of *Batik Tulis* depends on the complexity of the pattern and the number of colors used; the more intricate the pattern and the more varied the colors, the higher the price.

Batik is produced in various regions across Indonesia, with each region boasting its own distinctive characteristics in terms of motifs and colors.

Every motif carries its own unique meaning and philosophy.

Lasem is one of the regions where batik is produced.

Lasem is a district within Rembang Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia.
