The book examines the traditional textile known as Lurik, a fabric distinguished by its apparent simplicity in both aesthetic form and weaving technique, yet imbued with profound cultural and symbolic significance. The author elucidates the sacred dimensions of Lurik, highlighting its associations with magical potency, spiritual protection, and aspirational meaning encoded within the nomenclature of its diverse patterns. Furthermore, she delineates the distinctions between Lurik produced in Yogyakarta and Surakarta, while also situating the variations originating from Tuban on Java’s northern coast within a broader regional framework. The discussion extends to textiles that share affinities with Lurik, thereby situating the cloth within a comparative tradition of weaving practices. Notably, the book was composed during a period devoid of published references or digital resources, a circumstance that rendered the author’s scholarly endeavor particularly arduous and underscored the originality of her contribution.

The exhibition was held from 26 February to 26 March 1981 at the Jakarta Textile Museum. Lurik, a traditional Indonesian textile originating from Java, is distinguished by its austere linear stripe patterns. Historically, lurik has been associated with modesty and humility, serving as attire for the working class. In contemporary contexts, however, it has been reimagined and incorporated into high fashion as well as diverse modern applications. Certain motifs are believed to embody symbolic significance, functioning in ritual offerings or as emblems of protection, guidance, and good fortune.
