Ukiyoe Tarot
by Koji Furuta
Step into the floating world of Edo-era Japan, where elegance, ephemera, and archetype intertwine. The Ukiyoe Tarot is a visually stunning 78-card deck that gracefully merges traditional Rider-Waite symbolism with the aesthetics and philosophy of classical Japanese art. Rendered in the iconic ukiyo-e style—an art form rooted in the Buddhist idea of impermanence—this deck is both a cultural homage and a spiritual tool for deep, meditative divination.
Japanese artist Koji Furuta brings each card to life with serene scenes from everyday life, infusing the familiar arcana with a timeless, Eastern sensibility. From a Kabuki actor as the Magician to a Buddhist monk as the Hierophant, the Major Arcana are uniquely reimagined, while the Minor Arcana replaces suits with traditional Japanese objects—swords, ceremonial scepters, lacquered bowls, and Edo-era coins.
Key Features:
-
78 Illustrated Tarot Cards: Classic RWS structure interpreted through Japanese symbolism and ukiyo-e design, with titles in both English and Japanese.
-
Cultural Symbolism: The suits reflect authentic Japanese artifacts, creating a uniquely immersive experience.
-
Refined Aesthetic: Elegant lines, subtle coloring, and contemplative scenes echo the transient beauty of the floating world.
About the Creator:
Koji Furuta was a celebrated Japanese illustrator known for his mastery of traditional artistic techniques and his deep respect for cultural storytelling. In the Ukiyoe Tarot, he weaves ancient archetypes with Japanese heritage, crafting a deck that invites both introspection and appreciation of beauty’s fleeting nature. This deck is a tribute to the spiritual and artistic soul of Japan—graceful, grounded, and deeply resonant.
With the Ukiyoe Tarot, every reading becomes a meditative walk through the ephemeral world of art and spirit.
