Although the
word "batik" comes from the Javanese batik in Java's own presence is
not recorded. G.P. Rouffaer argues that this possibility of batik techniques
introduced from India or Sri Lanka in the sixth century or the 7th. On the
other hand, J.L.A. Brandes (archeologist, Netherlands) and F.A. Sutjipto
(archaeologist Indonesia) believe that the tradition of batik is native from
areas such as Flores, Toraja, Halmahera and New Guinea. It should be noted that
the area is not an area that is influenced by Hinduism, but known to the
ancient tradition has made batik.
G.P.
Rouffaer is also reporting that's been known since gringsing pattern of the
12th century in Kediri, East Java. He concluded that such a pattern can only be
formed by using canting, so he argues that canting found in Java at the time
about it. The details of the carvings that resemble the fabric batik pattern
worn by the Prajnaparamita, the Buddhist wisdom goddess statue from East Java to
the 13th century. Detailed clothing showing a pattern of tendrils of plants and
flower-flower pattern similar to intricate batik traditional Javanese can be
found now. This suggests that making batik patterns of the elaborate that can
only be made with the canting Java has been known since the 13th century or
even earlier.

Malay literature of the 17th century Malay Annals, tells the Admiral of Hang
Nadim airport, which was ordered by Sultan Mahmud to sail to India in order to
get 140 sheets of fabric patterns with litter of 40 types of flowers on each
painting. Because it is not able to meet the orders, she makes the fabrics
themselves. But unfortunately his vessel sank on the way home and was only able
to take four pieces so as to make the Sultan was disappointed. By some
commentators, who? Litter was interpreted as batik.
In European
literature, the batik technique was first told in the book History of Java
(London, 1817) the writings of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. He has been a
Governor of the United Kingdom in Java during the Napoleon occupied the
Netherlands. In 1873 the Netherlands Van Rijekevorsel a merchant gave a piece
of batik acquired while visiting Indonesia to Ethnic Museums in Rotterdam and
at the beginning of the 19th century that batik started to reach the golden
age. While at the show off right at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in

Since
industrialization and globalization, which introduced a new kind of batik,
automation arose, known as batik cap and batik print, while a traditional batik
produced with handwriting using canting techniques and night called batik. At
the same time immigrants from Indonesia to Malaya Fellowship also bring batik
