As many as three thousand different Batik patterns are recorded to have been produced since the 19th century, and many are considered to be antique designs. This is why Indonesia is considered as the place of Batik with its many designs for different wearers and occasions.
A piece of Batik is named based on its motif, the whole picture decorating the cloth. The motif is usually repeated to cover the whole space of the cloth. In traditional Batik art, there are old basic patterns to assemble Batik motifs.

Hokky Situngkir, an expressive, rising young scientist, is engaging the Indonesian populace in uncovering, valuing, and using its diverse cultural knowledge. In a country of repressed cultural diversity and competing ideologies, Hokky applies the objectivity of science to build a shared national cultural narrative and make its value accessible to all.
