The same company has produced these cards on a small scale for 250 years. They were originally designed for geisha and maiko (apprentice geisha) as their business cards. To use, the owner writes their name in their signature calligraphy and the card is offered to the visitor as a memory. The butterfly is represented because in Japan the butterfly is a symbol of a woman’s sensitivity and a beautiful woman wearing a kimono is often compared to a butterfly. We like these cards for place markers, notes, gift cards, etc. Each pack includes 20 cards in an assortment of colors.
