This book is the first to explore the influence of Islam on batik in Indonesia. It accompanies an exhibition at the Jakarta Textile Museum that shares the same title. The motifs featured on the cloth are categorized into calligraphic designs, geometric patterns, undefined shapes, parts of animals, or combinations of two or more animals. This is a bold effort to document these batiks and is a valuable addition to the collection of Indonesian textile literature.

Isen-isen, traditionally employed as filler motifs, are most commonly integrated into the outlines of batik designs. Tati, an accomplished and deeply devoted batikker, extended the application of these fillers beyond the motifs themselves, incorporating them into the background with remarkable dexterity and unwavering patience. Whereas classical batik typically remains austere—restricted to sober hues such as sogabrown, white, or black—serving primarily as visual unifiers, Tati pursued a higher standard of perfection in the placement of isen-isen. This meticulous approach required exceptional technical skill and extraordinary perseverance. The resulting compositions acquire a dynamic vitality, imbuing the motifs with a heightened sense of depth and even an optical illusion of dimensionality. The book offers lucid and meticulously detailed illustrations of her oeuvre. It constitutes the first publication to systematically document this innovative technique, thereby foregrounding the consummate artistry of isen-isen within the broader tradition of batik.
