Unit Question: Why batik survives?
"I see a piece of hand-drawn batik as a silent testimony of a tradition that brings together the creative best of so many devoted people...Batik comes to life through a chain of expertise, a dedicated set of tools, and a regiment of processing method which have been perfected for hundreds of year as a collective wisdom" (Asih)
