US Games Systems Ukiyoe Tarot Card

This richly illustrated deck artistically depicts traditional tarot symbolism with Japanese figures dressed in classical costumes. The unique Japanese Ukiyoe genre reflects Buddhist ideas about the transience of the physical world. Japanese artist Koji Furuta masterfully captures the serene beauty of the "floating world" with scenes of everyday Japanese life. The Major Arcana depicts familiar archetypal figures, such as a Kabuki actor as a magician and a Buddhist monk as a hierophant. For minors, the artist has selected ancient Japanese symbols: traditional swords, ceremonial scepters, lacquered bowls for drinking cups, Edo-era coins.
