As a swan song, identic megamendung and even as pesisiran Cirebon's batik ikon. This batik have specification that doesn't be met at producer littoral batik other at Javanese northern as Indramayu, Pekalongan, and also Lasem. megamendung's specification or "awanan" not even on its motif that as pictured as take after cloud with explicit colors as blue as and red, but also on contained philosophy point on its motif. It really hand in glove gets bearing with history comes into the world it batik as a whole at Cirebon.
Unclear, when batiks to become tradition at littoral pantura. Of many tattles, history batiks at Cirebon relates hand in glove with assimilation process culturizes and ritual's tradition religious. Its process happens since Sunan Locks-up Djati broadcasts Islam at Cirebon about 16th century.
Budayawan and batik observer, Made Casta announces, history batiks to be begun while Jati's Estuary Porting (Cirebon) as business man sojourn place Tiongkok, Arab, Iran, and India. Assimilations happening that time and medley acculturation culturize that results a lot of new tradition for Cirebon's society.
Ong Tien's Daughter nuptials and Sunan Locks-up Djati constitutes ’ portal ’ its input culturize and Tiongkok's tradition (China) to court. While that, court becomes cosmical center so IDE or idea, pernik pernik is tradition and incoming China culture with Ong Tien's Daughter becomes cynosure Cirebon's artist. "Pernik pernik is China that taken in by Ong Tien's Daughter as devoting for Sunan To Lock-up Djati, as artist inspiration comprises pebatik," perupa Made Casta's speech. Chinese delft, enamel, or sutra's cloth of Ming's dynasty epoch and Ching what does have a lot of motif, menginspirasi is Cirebon's artist. Chinese culture symbol image, as hong's bird (phoenix), liong (naga), butterfly, kilin, banji (swastika or eternal life symbol) as on familiar term with society Cirebon. pebatik court pours it in opus batiks. One of it megamendung's motif.
"Obviously with Cirebon's typical touch, so unegual a hair's breadth. On megamendung, lining apprehend China motif as circle or circle, meanwhile megamandung Cirebon tends ellipse, lancip, and gets triangularity. This one differentiate Chinese cloud motif and Cirebon," Made Casta's speech.
H. Komarudin kudiya, S.I.P., M. Ds., Foundations Daily chairman Batik Western Java (YBJB) interpose, Chinese cultural contiguity with artist batiks Cirebon bears typical new batik motif Cirebon.
Chinese motif just as inspiration. Artist batiks cirebon then mengolahnya with societies sensed goal local that moslem. Of there, come into the world batik motif with decorative manner and typical uniqueness, as Naga Liman's Pivot, Wadasan, Banji, Patran is creese, Umbrella lion, Barong's lion, Fishpond line, Shod chicken, and the most known by it megamendung. "Even megamendung most regards China, in its infusion an fundamentally different. Crowded Megamendung Cirebon religious meaning and philosophy. Its image linings tripping symbols live men of come into the world, children, stripling, full age, have family to puff out. Among comes into the world and dead most hyphenate link that to the whole lot menyimbolkan is Illahi magnitude," showroom's owner speech "Komar's batik" at Jln. Sumbawa, That Bandung's city.
History batiks at Cirebon also concerning tarekat's movement developing that konon gets center at Banjarmasin, Kalimantan. Therefore, even effected Chinese motif, its image infusion is different, and Islam nuance colours. There its specification lie.
tarekat's influence appears on Naga's Pivot Five. That motif constitute orders meaty symbol keagamaan who was believed by that tarekat. Pivot figures rajawali, naga is dragon, and liman it elephant. That motif figure goodness war against badness in achieving perfection.
"Motif it also figure Islam mixing, China, and India. tarekat's fellow men keep religious orders via symbol that becomes swan song motif comprise on motif batiks," Made Casta's speech.
On megamendung, besides man trip, also there is order concerning leadership that guards, and also spaciousness and fecundity epitomizing. Komarudin interposes, form apprehends to constitute the world symbol extends, at liberty, and transenden. There is nuance sufisme at returns that motif. Batik initially been worked tarekat's member that serves an office to court as source of economy to fund that group. At Cirebon, tarekat's fellow men lives in Trusmi's Village and its vicinity as Gamel, Kaliwulu, Wotgali, Kalitengah, and Panembahan, at Plered's district, Cirebon's regency.
Therefore, heretofore batiks cirebon, identically with trusmi's batik. Trusmi's society have hundreds year knows to batik. "Grandparent of my grandparent have known batik. Heretofore heritable. Initially really Trusmi, now with quick developing, other silvan society also follow Trusmi's tradition," alumnus ITB's speech that also Foundation administrator Batiks Indonesia (YBI). In the presence tarekat makes to batik cirebon in contrast to other coast batik. Since active one at tarekat is male, they too which initially blaze the way batik tradition. This in contrast to other region, batik merely woman work.
Red sunny colors and blue one figures maskulinitas and dynamic atmospheres, since there is male interference in processes batik makings. At Trusmi talks shop to batik constitute universe work. Its mean, all family member gets role, the father makes image design, mother that colours, and child that basks it.
Therefore, blue colors and carmine one are utilized on megamendung's motif, mengambarkan is coast society psychology that businesslike, open end, and egaliter. (Nugroho /'s grand "PR")***
