Batik a cultural heritage that has artistic value and has been part of Indonesian culture, especially Javanese ethnicity, for a long time. Batik skills are generally mastered by women. Thus, batik in the past became an exclusive activity, especially as a source of income for women. This condition persisted until the “batik stamp” technique emerged which allowed men to enter into the batik process.

Apart from the batik-making process, the tradition of batik was originally a hereditary activity. That’s why sometimes we can find that the characteristic of a motif belongs to a certain family.

Typical motifs include Parang, Kawung, Sido Mukti, Mega Mendung, and Nitik. Nitik is one type of batik motif that is unique because its shape is in the form of dots to resemble various patterns, ranging from geometric to shapes that symbolize natural diversity, such as flowers, leaves, and plant tendrils. One of the batik businesses that has inherited this technique and is still loyal to creating it is Batik Nitik Wundri, which is managed by Fitri Hafifah from Kembangsongo, Trimulyo Village, Yogyakarta.

Batik Nitik Wundri is special because it preserves the nitik motif and applies the sogan color–typical of classic Yogya batik color. Most of the batiks are handmade by “simbok” or senior batik artisans who have devoted themselves to the batik industry for a long time. This is what makes every piece of nitik batik cloth valuable.

Not only producing batik cloth for fashion needs, but Batik Nitik Wundri also makes batik for decoration or interior needs, in the form of wall hangings. The batik cloth for the room features a variety of beautiful nitik motifs that can be making the room look special. This decorative batik has also traveled to various countries as part of a unique decoration from Indonesia.
