Batik
Batik (; ) is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a ''canting'' ((:ʈ͡ʂantiŋ), also spelled tjanting), or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a ''cap'' ((:ʈ͡ʂap), also spelled tjap). The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired.
A tradition of making batik is found in various countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Philippines and Nigeria; the batik of Indonesia, however, is the most well-known. Indonesian batik made in the island of Java has a long history of acculturation, with diverse patterns influenced by a variety of cultures, and is the most developed in terms of pattern, technique, and the quality of workmanship.〔 On October 2009, UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/RL/00170 )〕
==Etymology==
The word ''batik'' is Javanese in origin (Javanese is one of many Indonesian local dialects) It may either come from the Javanese word ''amba'' ('to write') and ''titik'' ('dot'), or may derive from a hypothetical Proto-Austronesian root ''
*beCík'' ('to tattoo'). The word is first recorded in English in the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1880, in which it is spelled ''battik''. It is attested in the Indonesian Archipelago during the Dutch colonial period in various forms: ''mbatek'', ''mbatik'', ''batek'' and ''batik''.〔(Oxford English Dictionary: ''Batik'' )〕〔(Dictionary.com: ''Batik'' )〕
