Abstract

Batik is one of the traditional cultures of the pride of the Indonesian nation. This craft has a high artistic value and has a strong allure, both in the present and also in the past. Pekalongan batik is one of them. Pekalongan itself is a city located on the coast of the island of Java. This made Pekalongan in ancient times, was one of the cities in Indonesia that was often crossed by many foreign countries, both on trade trips, or foreign countries who were looking for new areas to dominate. The location of the city of Pekalongan is what ultimately makes Pekalongan become a city that is rich in differences. This in turn has an impact on the acculturation of the Pekalongan culture with the culture of the ethnic groups who come to Pekalongan, one of which is batik. The ethnic groups who came to the city of Pekalongan contributed to providing a new variety in the world of batik. The colors that were previously limited to red and blue, since being introduced by other ethnic groups, have begun to try to expand into a wider zone, as well as the motifs. This new nuance of Pekalongan batik gives its own charm and has a great influence to this day.
