If we are still not far from the heart of Java, the samples which are introduced in this page are no more called Batik of Central Java, they are usually defined as Batik from the North Coast of Java.
They are easily recognized by the more vivid colors and the design. They are originated in cities like Cirebon, Pekalongan, Tegal or Semarang. As they are all either harbors or cities close to the sea, the design has being influenced by the Arabic and Chinese merchants and more recently by the Dutchs.
The Chinese contribution to batik design may be seen in the flower and bird motifs, border patterns, and in use of pink, yellow and blue.
The Arab population has generally favoured patterns based on patola designs from India. They also prefer designs featuring green, a sacred color in the muslim world. Group of Dutch and Eurasian women favoured European floral bouquets, complete with birds, butterflies and bees on their batik designs.
The northern approach to batik has been more commercial. Where the Central Javanese design remained traditional in both motifs and techniques, the North has been geared to the varying tastes of potential customers. In addition to the large local market , they have been exported to Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines where bright colors and floral motifs have generally greater appeal than the somber Central Javanese batik.
