The EIGHTH Printing! ❤️

My complete 78-card original art tarot deck. This listing comes complete with a 100% cotton silkscreened tarot/altar cloth.

This year I've noticed counterfeit Sasuraibito decks appearing on the market. This is the ORIGINAL and genuine article.
You can tell by the box and booklet being marked with "Eighth Printing" as well as by the gold concentric circles on the box, with 8 rings. Counterfeit decks will be less expensive, and also of very poor quality, and often missing a guidebook. This listing here is my own creation, and printed and published with my direction. This project was a work of profound introspection and love, of which I am very proud, and I'm so excited to share it with you.

The Japanese word: "sasuraibito" most closely translates to "wanderer." It's an old-fashioned literary term that is falling out of use, meant to describe a person ever-seeking, searching for a place of healing and refuge. This deck is designed to aid the curious wanderer, and accompany you on your adventures to come.
This 78 card deck is inspired loosely by the Raider-Waite deck, contemporary living in the Western world, and Japanese and Buddhist concepts and ideals.

The cards measure 2.75''×4.75'' (70mm×120mm) on 330gsm matte stock, and are encased in a beautiful, sturdy lidded box featuring the card back design.

Also included is a 63-page guidebook, with brief notes on the meanings and symbolism of my cards. The deck is loosely inspired by the Rider-Waite tarot deck. While some cards follow common iconography fairly closely (Strength, The World), others diverge strongly from tradition (Death, Judgment). Common themes in the deck are the key points in the cycle of life, embracing endings and keeping the fool's open mind.

I painted the original designs between 2015-2017, in sumi ink, watercolor and Windsor & Newton Inks. The original major arcana deck lives in the personal collection of a patron in New York.

Thank you so much for looking!
