Reviewing a little history, Hokokai batik or what is called Javanese Hokokai first appeared during the Japanese colonial era (1942-1945). The motifs and colors of Hokokai batik show a strong acculturation of Japanese and Indonesian culture.
At that time, the Japanese government ordered a lot of batik from Indo-European, Indo-Arab or Peranakan Chinese batik entrepreneurs in Pekalongan who were famous for the fineness of their batik. Featuring the Sushomoyo style, the frame or fringe pattern starts from one end of the fabric, then spreads to the edges of the fabric.
Many of the motifs use cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums and dahlias which are Japanese favorites, with additional butterfly motifs.
