Batik is one of the crafts in Indonesia. The form and function of batik has developed. Formerly used by the royal court, now it is not. Every batik work produced has a character in it. These characters are found in their cultural background, beliefs, customs, and tastes. This makes batik a vehicle for cultivating character values. It is feared that the potential for Indonesian batik will be eroded without the preservation of Indonesian society. Although Indonesia has produced a lot of batik, there are still a few that show its distinctive features. Recently, batik appears in Malang, but it does not have a patent right.

This study uses a qualitative approach with this type of descriptive research. The subject is Parang Mask batik.
