"I Make Batik Not Because It's Requested" - Third Generation of Peranakan Batik Oey Soe Tjoen
Pekalongan is a city in the Central Java province of Indonesia, known as one of the best batik producers in Indonesia. Some of the finest and most beautiful batik motifs are born here, such as the jlamprang, liong, and bouquetan motifs.
This is also where the best batik producers produce their work. One of them is Oey Soe Tjoen, the owner of one of the oldest Peranakan batik makers in Pekalongan. Unfortunately, rumors say this batik business, which has been passed down through three generations, is nearing its end.
Is this true? What is the cause? What will become of this oldest Peranakan batik makers?
Oey Kiem Lian, also known as Widianti Wijaya, is the daughter of Oey Kam Long or Muljadi Wijaya and granddaughter of Oey Soe Tjoen. She is the heir to the Oey Soe Tjoen batik family and currently fully controls the operational aspects of its batik production.
Oey Soe Tjoen is an authentic example of fine Peranakan hand-drawn batik that still exists among collectors and enthusiasts of Indonesian batik. Its existence is a factor in the preservation of Indonesian batik. Therefore, as Indonesian citizens, we must play a role in preserving our national heritage.
