Madurese batik is not just a hot wax painted on cloth, but a form and painting of cultural and philosophical values ​​passed down over generations. As a part of the culture, batik is taught over generations as a form of inheritance and preservation of not only skills that bring economic value but also culture. In this cultural inheritance, there is an internalization of philosophical values ​​implicitly conveyed through typography, style, and color. Madurese batik has interesting patterns and colors.
