An old man Madurese stands in front of his house after weaving batik. Madura Island is located on the northeast coast of Java, Indonesia.

Madurese prefer to make batik as their work, because the agricultural sector tends to be bad. Besides batik, they worked as fishermen and satay seller. Madura satay is very famous in Indonesia.

Madurese are characterized as hardworking and friendly, but at the same time, they are very vulnerable to violence and hard to believe in strangers.

I took these photos in Pamekasan Regency. Pamekasan has long been known as one of the centers of batik crafts with natural characteristics, such as florals and animals.
