Abstract

The people of Semarang city do not know much about batik motifs or the philosophy of batik in Semarang. Semarang's batik position in the batik area of Indonesia is still at the level of the embryo / beginner. The historical track record shows that at the beginning of the 19th century Semarang batik developed very rapidly with diverse motifs that characterize coastal / coastal batik. One effort was made by developing creative and innovative work on Semarangan batik motif designs that could be accepted by the market by not leaving the distinctive characteristics of Semarang. Batik products and motifs are produced based on market trends and community interests without losing cultural roots, so that batik can occasionally keep up with the times. To realize this, we need to explore the history of the region in the form of motives and know the philosophy contained in it. 

Keywords: Semarang batik motif, philosophy of batik motif, motif of “Batik Wali”.
