Development of this batik motif was much influenced by several cultures such as Hindu, Islam, China, and Europe. Therefore, this study was aimed to find out batik preservation program rooted in the keraton traditional batik and investigate the Cirebon traditional batik rooted from the keraton tradition batik either in the batiks that have been used in the national and international level. This study applied a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The findings revealed that Keraton Cirebon Batik revitalization was done through a model revitalization which covers: Revitalization context; Reproductive Context; Innovation context; Integration context (Equality of Cultural Perception). Besides, revitalization was also done by creating alternative forms of visual decoration which can be a platform to integrate the cultural stakeholders of the Keraton Cirebon community. This program also functioned to express aesthetic values on Cirebon batik leading to a harmonious value system in the Keraton Cirebon.
