Papua ??? Yes, We Have Batik


Papua ??? Yes, We Have Batik
by : Huwaida Najla Alaudina

Hi guys, you met me again here, and of course with a lot more to know with me. Now, I would like to tell you about an interesting story about Papua. Well, you know about Papua, don’t you?. I believe all of you will nod your head, right ?. Ok, just to remind you. Papua is the largest province of Indonesia,  located in the center of the Papua island or the eastern part of West New Guinea (Irian Jaya).
Eemmh… don’t you know that actually Papua has so many cultures ?. And one of them is Batik. Moreover, UNESCO has even declared Batik as an object of cultural heritage produced by Indonesia. So,  batik is not only  from Java island but also from the rest of Indonesia. We can find various kinds of Batik. Even Papua itself also has Batik as its cultural heritage.

So, what is so distinctive of Papua’s Batik and that of  other ethnical batik ?. Ok, here I’ll tell you. It is clear enough that Papua’s Batik has different characteristic from the others. The characteristic of Papua’s Batik is  on its striking- eye catching color, with the motif of Cendrawasih Birds, tifa ( the traditional music instrument from Papua), and Asmat carving motif. Awesome, right?
Because of that, so many people from outside Papua really love this kind of Papua’s Batik. Not only that, some foreigners are also interested in Papua’s Batik, because it is really unique. So, if you still think that Papua is an isolated region and doesn’t have any interesting things, you ARE totally WRONG !!!!.

Jika kita disini jam 11 di duniamu baru jam 7. Jadi tenang saja oke.” Jelas Karin. “Baiklah kalau begitu, selamat tidur dan selamat malam.” Kata Aline yang langsung ambruk di atas tempat tidurnya. Disini jam terasa sangat cepat sekali berlalu. Baru saja mereka berdua melewati malam-malam mereka yang indah kini sang surya sudah kembali ke atas langit dan tersenyum cerah. Suara jam weker yang begitu keras sukses membangunkan keduanya dari tidur panjangnya. Aline berusaha untuk mengerjap-n...
