This book, written at the beginning of the millennium, underscores an urgent issue: the younger generation risks losing touch with Javanese culture and court arts unless immediate action is taken. The author has proactively documented the culture of the Surakarta Hadiningrat court, including the vital art of batik. We firmly recognize KRT Kalinggo's significant contributions that resulted in UNESCO's acknowledgment of batik as Indonesia's Intangible World Heritage in 2009.
