Madurese Batik The island of Madura has a style of batik all its
own. Less widely known than the batik clothes of Central Java and Cirebon. Madurese batik
nevertheless deserves special mention because of its alluring flower patterns and colours
in which red, purple and blue usually dominate. Another variety of East Javanese batik is
that of Tuban with its 'Gedog' batik, Ponorogo, and Sidoarjo.
