Abstract

In the past, there were many ports on the north coast of Java, which were important points in the maritime route for the spice trade that stretched from Japan, China, the Philippines, Maluku, Java, India, and Arabiato the Mediterranean. In these ports, trading activities of various commodities, including spices, occurred between indigenous residents and traders from India, China, and Arabia. The Dutch, through the VOC, then occupied the area to guarantee the monopoly practice of the spice trade in the archipelago. Through trading activities between various nations, a cultural meeting took place. This cultural hybridity can also be seen in the north coast batik motif, which is a mixture of Javanese visual styles with various other countries. Qualitative methods are used to examine the phenomenon of cultural hybridity in coastal batik. The data was collected through literature studies, while the visual style analysis used compositional interpretation that compared the hybrid batik motifs with the original motifs. The results showed 3 forms of hybridity in north coastal batik, which are the result of iteration and translation.
