Batik in different pattern and color
we looked so pretty in Batik
...on October 2nd, UNESCO officially recognized Batik as part of the world’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (making it Indonesia's third cultural heritage after Wayang and Keris). Batik here is not only about the fabric and its pattern, it's more about the cultural side that creates batik. We're talking about the process, the design, how to paint it, to wax and put color on it, even the beliefs and ritual in making batik. And it doesn't mean either that other country can not make Batik. Batik has alot of design and pattern. Indonesia has many of it, so does other country. But with the recognition from Unesco, at least the world knows where Batik originally came from. And so on that day, Indonesians wore Batik. It was symbolic, but we were very excited, proud, and happy to wear it. It was so special that day (knowing most of workers already obligated to wear Batik every Friday). Specially, in Jakarta, i was like in the middle of Batik ocean, haha...and the office, we were also having fun with Batik.
