From Chevron Cars (with additional links to Wikipedia):
On the other side of the world, a legend tells of the first Japanese emperor, Jimmu Tenno. He climbed to the top of the highest peak in Japan and looked out over his empire. He thought the island looked like a dragonfly that liked its tail. Japan became Akitsushima, the Dragonfly Island. The dragonfly soon became Japan’s national emblem as well as the subject of much folklore.
