  • Japanese deck:
    • The Japanese magazine publisher, Eastpress, issues a glossy, well produced monthly magazine, a Love and Fortune Calendar book targetted at young women and full of horoscopes, crystals, palmistry and other such divination. The issue for August 2009, contains a rather stylish tarot produced by Ryuichi Izumi with illustrations by Hitomi Nagao. Luckily I was able to get a copy before this went out of print.

    • I don't often buy original tarot works as usually these are well beyond my budget, but occasionally one comes before my view and I am able to buy it. A few days ago I received Laraine Atherton's collage deck in 'day of the dead' style. She produced this hand made collage deck back in 2004. The card background is sprayed with gold paint and each card has the same image of a skull set up on it and an engraved image of two dressed skeletons. This provides a coherent structure on which she collages the various images that relate to the meaning of the particular tarot card. Each card also has a naked or nearly naked pin-up, in classic 1920's style. The thick layers of the collage are then sealed in using pva glue. Many people are rather dismissive of collage, but I found this deck quite delightful and well made.
