                Hand crafting batik is one of the livelihood of the region north of Salem that has existed since the Dutch colonial period. Upon entry into the Dutch colonial Indonesia Batik existing Salem who pioneered the ancestors who came from Yogyakarta, according to history in the 1920's they came to Salem village Bentarsari to secure themselves from attack invaders and then settle into the local native population. During their stay in Bentarsari taught to make batik to the surrounding community, especially the mothers. The batik motifs that they teach at that time still very classical (ancient) as ukel batik, batik coffee breaks, Manggar batik and batik giringsing. At that time the community has not been able to develop batik motifs other than the motives which they have learned previously.In 1925 comes the vanguard of new batik is derived from Tegal Mbah Breden who worked at the Salem District office, he had a son named Idi and Khatijah equally good at making batik and then they teach the surrounding community, especially for mothers with makeshift materials , is very simple with ingredients from natural dyes such as indigo soga cangkudu, soga godog leather, and spices such as leaves and leaf Kamandika Tarum, turmeric, cengkudu tree trunks, bark mahogany and many others are widely grown by the community and surrounding Bentarsari .From year to year batik hand they have taught is constantly increasing both in terms of quality, color, or motif.
