The dragonfly is the national emblem in Japan. The ubiquitous motif symbolises happiness, courage and strength.

The glossy red lacquered dragonflies against an ebony background are raised, giving this photo album an extremely unique look and feel. This very special photo book combines the most beautiful materials of Europe and Japan. It is ideal for storing your own photos or as a unique gift (e.g. for baby showers or for a wedding).

The red dragonflies dotted on the cover of this album are slightly raised and is made of very high-quality paper from Japan. The back is covered with red bookcloth. The heavy cardstock pages of the album are separated by beautifully patterned glassine (pergamin) sheets to protect your photos and also to prevent any writing from transferring to the opposite page.

A satin ribbon to tie the album is optional. Please indicate when buying if you want the album to have such a bow.

This album can also be personalised with an embossed linen plaque, which increases the price by 13 GBP.
