I own most liked truntum motif. This motif is very romantic to me. This motif is based on the story of the history of the kingdom. That said, this motif is made by a king consort. The king was so long ago was not paying attention and affection on the empress. In loneliness and longing to the king, the queen consort shed all his heart to make batik.
Batik motifs created by the empress is the only floral bloom. Hope he is budding and blossoming love the king returned to him. Apparently, the effort was successful. With great affection and love while making truntum motif.
When finished making, batik cloth was presented to the king. The king was perceptive clairvoyant to understand the motive behind the message. Finally, the king became realized and their love grows deeper on the empress. That’s why I like this motif. Truntum motif.

My trip to the city of Solo is the romance of travel past the very impressive. I seemed to be invited to discover traces of the greatness of this nation in the past, up to the present. Solo City is amazingly exotic. I am very sure, every place in Indonesia has an incredible exoticism.
Great nation is a nation that can uphold the struggle of his predecessors. Nation capable of maintaining their historic grandeur, caring, nurturing, and it is more powerful if it is able to develop it into a bigger throughout the world. It takes mutual understanding, global awareness continues to fight for it sustainable.
Solo city as ‘ The Spirit of Java ‘ has found its cultural heart ticking, bringing life to the people in the city itself. It becomes its own awareness of the triggers for each city in Indonesia, to be able to find their identity, explore, and develop it further. Cooperation among the various stakeholders is needed.
The cooperation of the government, private, and community is a must. Like taking care of plants, each requiring the development of fertilizer, water and appropriate treatment technology. After the harvest product, marketing and distribution is still needed in order to reach the right target market expected. This is great work. The development of batik in Solo has been able to be an example, just how to maintain and continue to improve. We can learn from the city of Solo. Congratulations work colleagues, Indonesia will need great people like you.
