Indonesian blankbook (1)

The Indonesians love of pattern and ornament is evident throughout their county. For one, Indonesia is a country famed for its patterned cloth, or Batik. Charmingly, patterns associated with batik are even used on the covers of blankbooks.
 Here is one such example. It was purchased in Yogjakarta in 2014. It was clearly of older stock. It is a subdued pattern, in black, yellow and brown. Nonetheless, the fine printing conveys all the genius of the batik-painter's art on the paper.
