My complete 78-card original art tarot deck. ++ also available in travel size ++

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 (smooth, sturdy) card stock with a matte UV finish, 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.



********* A NOTE ON THE GILT EDGES ********* These cards have gold edging, which will fade with time. As this is a paper physical object, it will wear with use.

********* AUTHENTICITY ************************ Recently I've noticed counterfeit Sasuraibito decks appearing on the market, so if you purchase this deck you are buying directly from me, the creator, and can rest assured the deck is authentic.

Counterfeit decks will be less expensive, and also of very poor quality, often missing a guidebook, having the name changed, or my name erased altogether! I don't want that, you don't want that.

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.



Thank you so much for looking!
