This card shows a water colour illustration, by Daniel Mackie, of a dragonfly. _In ancient times, Japan was called “Akitsushima”, a name that was given to it by the 5th century emperor, Yuryaku, and translates as, “Isle of the Dragonfly”. The story goes that the Emperor was bitten by a horsefly which was promptly eaten by a dragonfly. The Emperor honoured the dragonfly by naming Japan after it._ Card is blank inside so that it can be used for any purpose. Dimensions of card 12.6cm x 17.8cm. Cards are printed on high quality 300gsm card. Each card is packed with an envelope and is protected in a cellophane bag.
