History

The history of Tohpati reflects the transformation of a traditional village into Bali’s central hub for Batik and Ikat craftsmanship. As Batik techniques from Java blended with Balinese mythological motifs, the village developed its own artistic identity showcasing deities, epics, and island nature. With tourism growth in the 20th century, families opened workshops where visitors could witness the intricate wax-resist process firsthand. Today, Tohpati remains a living cultural archive supported by tour operators like SEMAT TRAVEL INDONESIA who highlight its role in preserving Bali’s textile legacy.
