ABOUT THIS EDITION ----------------------------------------------------- During the production process, the USPCC sealed by hand the first 72 decks. After that, they made a mistake and the rest were sealed upside down. None of those 72 decks were sold and they are part of a private collection used only for specific promotions. They are easy to identify because the seal is in its usual position and the number is between 1 and 72. ------------------------------------------------------- Every detail has been taken care of to make this deck a realistic wood deck made of the best Bicycle paper stock printed by the United States Playing Card Company.

Ancient Chinese philosophy and astrology believed that nature is composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and soil.

These five types of elements have different properties. Fire is hot, which has an upward nature; the soil has the nature of peace and existence; gold has the nature of killing and astringency; water has the nature of cold and moisturizing.

With the rise and fall of these five elements, nature has changed, affecting not only human's destiny but also the circulation of the universe.

The full set consists of 5 decks of cards. 5 distinct designs correspond to 5 elements, which are represented as a totem on the back of the card and the card box.
