==== Batik ==== [[File:Batik Lasem Tulis.jpg|thumb|''[[Batik]] Lasem,'' incorporating both Javanese and Chinese influence]] Central Java is famous and well known for its exquisite ''[[batik]]'', a generic [[Resist dyeing|wax-resist]] [[dye]]ing technique used on [[textile]]s. There are different styles of batik motifs. A centre of batik production is in [[Pekalongan]]. Other centres include [[Surakarta]] and [[Yogyakarta]]. ''Batik'' in Pekalongan style, which represent ''gaya pesisir'' (or coastal style), is different from the one in Surakarta and Yogyakarta that represent ''batik'' from the heartland of Java (''gaya kejawèn'').<ref>Ron Hatley, ''Mapping the Javanese cultures'' (1984:10–11)</ref>
