Unicorn and Dragon, Japan

This postcard is from Japan. It depicts a Unicorn confronting a Dragon. These are some of the mythical creatures that I am really fascinated with. The illustration on the postcard is from the book UNICORNIS: On the History and Truth of the Unicorn by Michael Green.


A small paragraph at the back of the postcard reads: Now, the Unicorn oversees all dominions of this world, and so in shadows he finally must confront the Worm. No creature exceeds the Unicorn in quickness or in courage, but vast and subtle is the knowledge of the Dragon. 

Here are the lovely Japanese stamps: 


Thank you Mitsuyo for the wonderful postcard!

Unicorn maxicard, Australia

Let me share some of the old postcards that I've received.


This is a maxicard of a unicorn, sent by Sue from Melbourne, Australia in the autumn on the 5th May 2012. This is one of my favourite postcards because I like unicorns! Thank you Sue!
