Overview

Java is a trade-route island, whose 2,000-year-old history has been influenced by a succession of religions and waves of colonisation by Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch and English. Each left its imprint on Javanese culture and the development of batik. The author takes the reader on a spellbinding tour of the island and on a discovery of batiks history, motifs, and methods of production.
