Batik is a work that represents the cultural identity of Indonesia at the international level. There are thousands of types and batik motifs that developed in many areas. One of them, kind of batik unique and interesting of the Holy, Central Java.

Holy batik that debuted around 1930 since it has long historical roots in the repertoire of national batik. History of these three motif etched in the State. Batik motif is considered unique because of the manufacturing done in three countries (regions).

The use of color in the batik process carried out in three different areas. The color red in Lasem, blue in the Holy and Pekalongan, whereas Soga and Black color in Solo and Yogyakarta. Three motifs history of this country also confirms that the Ghost is a historic town in the course of batik in Indonesia.

Unfortunately, the Holy batik as if swallowed by the earth is now due to lack of public recognition of batik. Developers Holy batik, Miranti Serad Ginanjar revealed, the Holy batik development can be done by introducing batik and batik way to the public, especially residents of the Holy. However, the Holy batik development effort is not without obstacles.

According to Miranti, it is an obstacle today is the emergence of competition from companies that produce batik Ghost with the printing press.

"The ruin of the artisans, many entrepreneurs who produce and have a duplex machine. Frankly a lot so we could see the batik, batik printing everywhere, "said the Holy Miranti, Central Java, on Monday (11/28/2011).

Moreover, the Holy batik printing results are more easily produced and sold cheaply. "More subtle, less expensive, too, was disappointed that we make," added Miranti.

However, Miranti optimistic if the Holy handmade batik produced the perpetrators of domestic industry capable of competing with the manufacturer. Through the fashion show and exhibition, Miranti began to introduce batik Ghost in the market.

"One Summit yesterday at the World Batik, batik Ghost appears and received international attention," he said.

Only, in terms of price, Holy batik is still relatively expensive. Batik is targeting the upper middle class that is offered on the market ranging from Rp 70 thousand to $ 3 million.

"The USD 70 thousand was stamped stationery, of course it could only two colors. But many continue to be the motive, "Miranti said.

The uniqueness of the Holy batik

Although quite expensive, he added, batik home city of clove remain in demand. Holy batik motifs unique main attraction. As a product produced from the area of Java that is central to the development of Islam as well as having a strong influence of Chinese culture, batik works of the Holy become multicultural.

In addition to adopting the Chinese culture, batik Ghost also influenced Islamic culture. This is reflected in the sacred motif that uses letters or Arabic calligraphy, with the dominant colors tend to be dark like navy blue and black.

Examples of motifs Holy cough, Miranti said, can be seen from the uniform employees of PT Djarum. Tobacco company that designed the original Holy uniform employees with a pattern ship aground. Motifs are drawn from the history of the Ship Dampo Awang, Sam Po Kong. The ship was owned by the Chinese Muslim admiral named Zheng He or Cheng Ho.

Out of nowhere all of a sudden there are custom batik on Friday, especially in offices or agencies of government instnasi. Indonesia's batik shirt pride and who love Indonesia, would love to wear batik, except those who feel inferior when wearing batik. Strange wear batik why should low self-esteem. I remember very well when there are writings that highlight a tycoon who insult people who wear batik, batik said wearer as NGO members only!

Ah had it right the tycoon, who are looking for rice in the homeland of Indonesia, Indonesia and the ID card and passport, but no love Indonesia, Indonesia him only the fields to make profits of as much as possible. But when urged to wear batik, shook his head, refusing, prestige or whatever! And those kind of conglomerates who go abroad is like going shopping to the market, at any time can and can afford! Properly on that occasion he was wearing batik and batik introduced abroad, so that strangers know and are interested in batik shirt! Means that the conglomerate had, to think positively, it has indirectly promoted batik for foreigners, rather than feel inferior or prestige batik wear!

Okay that's his business conglomerate, sukurnya who like it was just a bit, the more I look at the conglomerate did not hesitate when it organized a fun berbatik or meetings. And with batik recognition by the United Nations through UNESCO adds more pride berbatik and even more proud when at a meeting of ASEAN, USA, Russia, China, India and Japan in Bali recently the head of state or heads of government who participated in the event berbatik ria, including USA president, Barack Obama, steady!

Despite the batik which has so mengharusmkan name of Indonesia and has become a national pride clothing, there is something that tickles my concern. Well what else if not wearing a batik on Friday. For Muslims Friday is the day the exalted, because that day there are activities conducted worship each week, ie Friday prayer, worship other than daily or daily prayers performed five times a day with five times, from the dawn prayer, midday , 'Asr, Maghrib and Isha prayers combined with other sunnah.

Well Day Friday Sunnah of the best dressed and Sunnah wore white clothes, because the prophet wearing a white shirt during Friday prayers! Well what's the problem now? With dihimbuanya batik dress on Friday, it seemed to clash with white clothes. Easy does it bring a change of clothes during the day Friday. At the office wear batik, batik at Friday prayers last change with wear white. Done? Aha they are not, many never bother to bring a change of clothes, so when Friday prayers still wear batik. In fact there are a lot of wear and sports t-shirts or shirts that various creations in the back with words that make people dibelakngnya prayer, I can not help reading the passages behind the back of it.

Just look at the Russians are so interested in the all batik!!

It should pakian or free clothes worn by the words behind your back, so that people who pray undisturbed kekhusuannya! So the best time pakian Friday prayers is the color white, plain white shirt that said people taqwa. But faith does not exist a close relationship with clothing, but clothing had been at least shows a person's identity keIslamanan, although it is not the only way to measure the Islamization and to Imanan sesesorang. So when wearing batik? Monday or when there is a flag ceremony! As for the Muslims on Friday still wear white clothes or clothes for Friday prayers, instead of batik!

Is there a ban on wearing batik shirt at Friday prayers? Well no, but the Sunnah wear white clothing, as the prophet dressed in white during Friday prayers. When a plain white shirt worn during Friday prayers and was used throughout the pilgrims in all the mosques, then look compactness Muslims, like the pilgrims when ihrom wear the all white, no visible similarities and differences between the officials and people, between king and grassroots, between the generals and kompral so on. Looks beautiful all-white and clean, if Allah wills hatinyapun pure white, as white and clean clothes! So in all-white Friday and on Monday all batik, how life is, when a sense of faith and love and as the soil line. Not dibentur-knock, or "played off" by the people or certain parties are not responsible jaw
