"Batik (Javanese pronunciation: [\u02C8bate\u0294]; Indonesian: [\u02C8bat\u026Ak]) is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting (IPA: [\u0288\u0361\u0282anti\u014B], also spelled tjanting), or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap (IPA: [\u0288\u0361\u0282ap], also spelled tjap)."@en . . .
