Jogyakarta is the batik capital of Indonesia and there is enough of it here to probably clothe everyone in the world. Batik, for those who are unfamiliar is a traditional Indonesian textile that is made either by stamp press or hand painted with hot wax. The hot wax is used to draw a design on material then dyed, it's sort of like tye-dye.
