KOMPAS.com - Travel batik in Pekalongan not be separated from the influence of European culture, Chinese, and Arabic. In the past, Chinese people come to Pekalongan as a trader and saw a great opportunity to do business batik. They then married local people (descendants later known as Peranakan Chinese), and later became the group's most successful batik maker.
One of the popular name as the embryo of the Peranakan Chinese batik in Pekalongan is Liem Ping Wie.

Motifs are mostly in the form of pictures of birds, fish, and butterflies. However, floral design, which is a typical motif batik pekalongan and influenced by the Europeans, also remain visible in their collections. Flora and fauna and then became one of the new forms of motive.
Liem Ping Wie also produces what is called batik Hokokai. Typical Hokokai exist on the concept of night and day, that is a fabric that displays the two motifs, dark and light. Hokokai batik works of this store interesting story.
"Back then, during the war (the Japanese occupation), the right to be afraid to go out. They can not buy the materials (cotton) and tools for batik. Because baseball no work, finally they use materials that already exist, and spending time with batik . They meet all of batik cloth with a picture. You see, this motif fully cover the fabric, "said Liem Poo Hien, while accompanying journalists visiting the house in the area Kedungwuni batik, Pekalongan, on Friday (17/12/2010).

Big name Liem Ping Wie also cause customers not only come from Indonesia, but also Japan and Singapore. They come directly to the home of batik Kedungwuni this if you want to buy batik. Until now, Liem Ping Wie did not open shop.
However, Hien refused to receive the ordered items from customers in Japan or Singapore because generally they only provide down payment when ordering. In fact, the process of making batik is very complicated and takes many months. Hien would also require funding for operational costs and hire employees on a weekly basis.
"Now, if it's needed, customers come just to take stock of existing. As before, right, a visitor from Japan who came. They have received so aja," said Hien, who is now working with Edward Hutabarat to produce batik designs from designers such .
To feed themselves and their employees, Hien also produce printed batik is the process faster, and faster the behavior. "If I do order all, I could be crazy," he chuckled.
