Solo: Batik hunt!


Solo: Batik hunt!, originally uploaded by zags.

Solo is one place in Central Java where we can find various beautiful batik. Batik is traditional Javanese printed/hand painted cloths. The cloths are painted with hot wax then soaked in coloring solution, then the wax is melted and washed away. There are many kinds of batik prints, including types of prada (golden color painted) prints. These are two samples of prada types called Sido Mukti.

More photos will be uploaded when i'm back.
