Batik Day of October 2

Indonesians have been asked to wear batik on October 2 once UNESCO has classified the traditional textile dying technique as an intangible element of global cultural heritage.
The listing, which will give the age-old tradition of batik technology some degree of protection under a UNESCO charter, will be made official at an event in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, between September 28 and October 2.
To acknowledge the listing, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has asked all Indonesians to wear batik.
“Batik is regarded as a cultural icon with its own uniqueness. It contains symbols and is deep philosophy, including humans’ life cycle — and it was submitted by Indonesia as a non-material element of cultural heritage,” chief welfare minister Aburizal Bakrie told a press conference at Bogor State Palace on Monday.
“We’ve been told batik has been recognized as an element of global cultural heritage produced by Indonesians. The President has called on all Indonesians to wear batik on October 2, to celebrate batik,” Aburizal said.
Indonesian Art of Textile
Although the process of decorating cloth through the process of batik is found in several regions in Africa or India and even in some South East Asian countries, the batik of Indonesia is unique and unequaled. Indonesian Batik is made in several regions, but the center of the art is Central Java, in cities like Yogyakarta, Solo, Cirebon, Pekalongan and Indramayu.
The pride of Indonesians to wear batik till the present day has preserve this art of textile. The beauty of Batik is a tribute to the patience, creativity of the woman of Java, the main island of Indonesia. Credit should be also given to men who prepare the cloth and handle the dyeing and finishing process.
Batik is generally thought of as the most quintessentially Indonesian textile. Motifs of flowers, twinning plants, leaves buds, flowers, birds, butterflies, fish, insects and geometric forms are rich in symbolic association and variety; there are about three thousand recorded batik patterns.

Tergores luka dalam tawaku,
Terbelit pilu dalam tingkahku,
Tersinggung rasa dalam bicaraku.
