Description on the reverse of the greeting card: The Japanese word for monkey, "saru" is a homonym for the Japanese word "expel" (also pronounced saru), meaning "dispel" or "push away". This has given the monkey a sacred symbolism as a guardian against negativity and misfortune. Quality heavy weight luxurious pearlescent paper, giving a beautiful shimmering effect, elegantly finished with rounded corners. A6 size (148mm x 105mm).
