Cultural heritage is ignored
Actually a long time ago I already knew about this problem. But this time I intend to lift again, especially to be one discussion on this blog to remind us of our negligence as the cultural heir of the archipelago, especially Indonesia.
Batik
Several years ago I was surprised to hear that Kain Batik or commonly called "Jarik" by the Javanese, it has been patented by the United States as one of the Hawaiian culture? Really! Is it true that the western nations (read: the Caucasians) were trying to tarnish our nation faces in the international eye, or is this just a joke because the Indonesian people started to leave (read: ignore) heritage cultures of our ancestors?
I tried mengklarifikasinya with my friends asked a cultural observer and also an economist. Why are economists? Because this is directly related to patent a product. Moreover this is the original product archipelago since hundreds of years ago, and this is the inheritance rights of the Indonesian nation.
It is true it seems, the United States has long looked the other nation's culture as a profitable business opportunity, not only draining the natural wealth of other countries, but also deplete the culture of other countries. United States is a country that was inhabited by various nations. They did not have an official culture. Indian culture (or the original name of this nation called Arawak) is the native cultures of the American soil, but the United States itself does not recognize them as a culture because of bad relations with the Indians since the British colonists began to open on American soil.
In the international world of Batik is currently intensively promoted as belonging to the United States.
United States Patent for Batik since it has happened a few years ago (I do not know when exactly) and conducted without the knowledge of the Indonesian nation as the heir than Batik Nusantara. Batik is already there since the time of the Kingdom-Hindu-Buddhist kingdom. Batik is usually used as formal wear and everyday clothing Nusantara society at that time. Batik also determine the level of one's position at that time. The more fine and intricate patterns found in the wearing Batik, the higher the position of that person. Usually the first royal royal order high-quality batik at a Batik craftsmen who have been known to make batik with the best quality.
Batik is estimated first in the Land archipelago from Java. Then began to spread to Bali, Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara Islands, Sumatra, and Sulawesi. Batik-Batik Nusantara famous of which is Javanese batik from Yogyakarta, Pekalongan, Solo, Cirebon, Banyumas, and Madura. Whereas for other regions of Batik is the famous Batik from Balikpapan Kalimantan and has its own characteristics. To the center of culture and the study itself Batik currently are in Yogyakarta.
Batik is one of the oldest cultures of Indonesia, is being called into question its very existence to the treasury of the nation's children. The more rapid growth of world textile industry has led to the popularity of Batik in Indonesia society views fading. Especially with dipatenkannya Batik by the United States as a result of Hawaiian crafts, have tarnished our name as the owner's own batik. Is it possible in the future of our generation will be known as the cultural heritage of Batik ancestors Indonesia? Or do they even know Batik as other peoples work for our negligence in maintaining our own culture?
Batik (or word Batik) comes from Javanese language "amba", meaning to write and "nitik". The word batik itself meruju the pattern-making techniques - using a canting or cap - and dyeing cloth using the color barrier material pattern "night" (wax) is applied over the fabric, so stop the entry of dye. In English, this technique is known as wax-resist dyeing. So is the batik cloth with decoration or pattern created by canting and cap by using the night as the color barrier material. This technique can be applied only on the material made from natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool and can not be applied on the cloth with man-made fibers (polyester). Cloth-making style and coloring are not using this technique known as batik patterned cloth - usually made in industrial-scale printing technique (print) - not a batik cloth.
Batik is a craft that has high artistic value and has become part of the culture of Indonesia (especially Java) for a long time. Javanese women in the past made their skills in batik for a living, so in the past, batik work is exclusively women's work until the invention of "Batik Cap" which allows the entry of men into the field. There are some exceptions to this phenomenon, namely that the coastal batik masculine lines as you can see in shades of "Mega Clouds", which in some coastal areas batik work is common for men.
