Jawa Sarasa : sono tayō na dentō no sekai

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic nation with more than 17,000 large and small islands in the vast sea area of Southeast Asia. Batik, a wax-dyed cloth that has been produced mainly on the island of Java, which is located almost in the center of the island, is world-famous as a traditional dyeing and weaving that represents Indonesia. This book explores Javanese batik works, carefully selected from top collections from within Japan and abroad. Influenced by various traditions and through various eras, Javanese batik has various patterns and colors that are very fascinating. Presented through beautiful color photographs and accompanied by explanations of the history, culture and techniques of Javanese batik, this book deepens our understanding of Javanese batik and the history and culture of Indonesia behind it.
