Culture

Batik is a traditional Javanese method of cloth-dyeing. Historically, certain patterns can only be work by nobility while different regions of Indonesia can have their own unique patterns for everyday wear. Today, Batik is prevalent as a fashion item for both casual and formal wear, involving a diverse range of colors, fabrics, and patterns.
