Abstract
Since 2009, Indonesian Batik has been recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage because batik has become increasingly famous on the international stage. Many foreigners come to Indonesia to see and enjoy the beauty of batik, one of which is Batik Lasem. The Lasem Batik motif is a blend of Chinese and Indonesian cultures. Batik Lasem comes from Lasem District, Rembang Regency, Central Java. In general, Batik Lasem consists of two motifs, Chinese and non-Chinese motifs. The purpose of writing this article is to reveal the meaning of the motifs contained in Lasem batik motif. Researchers used a qualitative descriptive method through data collection techniques with literature and documentation studies. The results of this study indicate that the koi fish motif has the meaning of longevity, and it is believed that fish can live for a long time, the butterfly motif has the meaning of teenage love and true love, the phoenix motif has the meaning of good nature and purity because in the legend there is the belief that this bird is ridden by the bride in Chinese culture. This motif is then acculturated with the local culture, so that it becomes a characteristic of the Batik Lasem motif.
