This time the focus turns to the kitsune – the legendary fox spirits of Japanese folklore – with characters inspired by stories, myths and folktales surrounding these mysterious supernatural beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than simply borrowing Japanese motifs, the deck translates the flowing composition and intricate visual language associated with traditional tattoo artwork into the structure of playing cards. The result is a richly illustrated deck where mythology and modern card design sit naturally alongside one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the court cards and pips are completely custom, while the back uses an ultra-thin border that allows the artwork to dominate without sacrificing the symmetry expected from a functional deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis special Blue\/Red Craft Edition receives an especially impressive presentation. Its tuck is made from GMUND cotton paper from Germany and individually letterpress printed in Hong Kong, giving the illustrated kitsune artwork a tactile quality that complements the traditional inspiration behind the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cards themselves were printed by USPCC on premium stock with a traditional cut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Card Experiment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58511795552587,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/7713\/3131\/files\/Sumi-Kitsune-Myth-Maker.jpg?v=1789667457","url":"https:\/\/premiumplayingcards.co.uk\/products\/sumi-kitsune-myth-maker-playing-cards","provider":"Premium Playing Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
