Time, taste, and people mixed to form the great variety of Java's north-coast batik—from the elegant courts of Cirebon to the dusty village of Kerek, from coarse handspun to the finest combed cotton, from monochromatic work to batik with fifteen colors, from Indische businesswomen to Chines and Arab entrepreneurs, from tulis to cap.

The influence of Java's north coast on batik continued through times of national struggle, war, misery, and poverty. The Javanese had bound themselves into an organization called Sarekat Islam to protect themselves against Chinese batik competition. It was this very same group that became a cornerstone of the independence movement. And through it all, as we shall see, Java's unique art form emerged not entirely unscathed, but enriched by new experience.
