Abstract
President Xi Jinping speech on 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative to the Indonesian Parliament in October 2013 has a historical foundation derived from China and Indonesia relationship that have been going on for thousands of years beginning in the form of maritime trade. The maritime trade was done by junk ships that navigating the sea routes from ports in the southern part of China to Indonesian archipelago. The voyage required a long time stopover because the departure time depended entirely on the monsoon. This led to early settlements of Chinese merchants in several port towns along the northern coast of Java. Cross-cultural communication between Chinese merchants and local people took place in those cities. The ability of Chinese merchants to communicate, negotiate and work with people from other cultures was vital to their international business at the time. Some Chinese merchants decided to settle down in those cities and then married local women. Descendants of these inter-ethnic marriages formed Tionghoa Peranakan community. They combined Chinese and Indonesian cultures in their everyday life. As an example of this cultural hybridity practice: Tionghoa Peranakan women wore kebaya and encim batik or Chinese batik, while their men wore tuikhim shirts and baggy pants. Encim batik was produced by Tionghoa Peranakan entrepreneurs in several cities in north coast of Java such as Indramayu, Cirebon, Pekalongan, and Lasem. Aside from used for domestic purposes, batik also exported to several areas outside Java such as Sumatera, Malaysia, Singapore, and Phukett. The visual style of encim batik from each city had similarities as well as differences. This research aims to study the influence of Chinese culture on batik from these cities based on its visual style hybridity. The analysis applies perspectives from sociology, semiotics, and visual arts.
