Abstract

Javanese people has a special character in conveying their feelings which makes majority of their cultural products related to philosophically meaningful codes and symbols. Abstraction of Javanese’s mindset and paradigm is visualized on their daily life supporting objects. Stylized female figures is regarded as novelty since most batik motifs with classic characters displaypatterns and contents (isen-isen) in stylation forms of flora, fauna, and natural elements such as water, clouds, wind, fire and mountains. Stylation of batik women crafter on Mbok Semok batik motif is a cultural change symptom in Girilayu. This study aims to: (1) find out the background of batik motif realization as a visual idiom ofJavanese in Girilayu; (2) describe the meaning of visual idioms from Javanese philosophical perspective on Mbok Semok batik motif; and (3) analyze cultural changes which occur in Girilayu community from Mbok Semok batik motifs visualization. Change is a dynamically happening and flowing necessity which finds its shape in Javanese today. The emergence of batik women crafter figure stylation in Girilayu on Mbok Semok motif is an abstraction of space recognition on women authority as well as their domestic territory. Mbok Semok for Girilayu community is a symbol of strength and fertility.
