Batik Tuban
Batik Tuban merupakan salah satu batik model batik yang khas dari daerah pesisir, dimana memiliki warna yang beragam dan mencolok.
Pada pertengah abad ke 19, batik Tuban adalah batik yang menyerupai ciri batik Cirebon. Kemiripan ini terjadi pada penggunaan benang pintal serta penggunaan warna merah dan biru pada proses pencelupan. Namun ketika Kota Cirebon mengalami perubahan dramatis dengan diikuti perubahan pada batiknya, batik Tuban tetap mempertahankan keaslian seperti semula.
Dalam proses pembuatan batik Tuban, dimulai dari memintal bahan kain yang akan dibatik terlebih dahulu langsung dari kapas. Setelah menjadi benang, kemudian di tenun dan menjadi selembar kain untuk mulai di batik. Batik ini kemudian disebut Batik Gedog.
Pusat kerajinan dan warisan turun temurun ini banyak dijumpai di desa Kedungrejo, kecamatan Kerek, Tuban. Eksistensi batik gedog sempat mati suri, dan itu pula yang menyebabkan batik Gedog sempat menjadi langka dan hampir punah. Hal ini dikarenakan banyak pengrajin batik gedog yang enggan untuk memintal kain terlebih dahulu.
Namun sekarang batik gedog sudah mulai bangkit dan banyak pengrajin Tuban mulai sadar akan keistimewaan batik yang sarat akan keindahan ini. Hal ini terbukti bahwa Batik Gedog sudah melanglang buana sampai ke luar negeri dan bahkan pengrajin batik dari daerah lain mengambil pewarna dan bahan kainnya dari pengrajin Tuban.
