The limited edition is made by Oishi Tengudo in Kyoto. Only 150 copies each of the two patterns will be made, for a total of 300 decks. The limited edition cards have elaborate backs with a silver sayagata pattern. 7 of the cards (the "brights") have also been hand-stamped with silver ink, like you see on many 19th century hanafuda decks. The cards have a prominent warp, as is traditional with handmade Japanese cards. The fronts of the cards have been hand-lacquered twice. The decks come in traditional paulownia wood boxes with a partition in the middle. Out of the 300 limited edition decks, 100 will be sold together as a set (i.e. 50 sets of 2 decks) which will come in an additional, wider, rectangular paulownia box padded with black cloth in the bottom, to hold both of the smaller ones. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/karuta/shiki-japanese-style-playing-cards/description

The Met has partnered with Lingo on one-of-a-kind playing cards inspired by the Museum's vast and comprehensive collection of Asian art. From The Great Wave (ca. 1830–32) by the esteemed Edo-period painter and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760–1849) to a kaleidoscopic Hevajra mandala from 15th-century Tibet, this deck presents highlights and hidden gems of the Museum's renowned Department of Asian Art. 56 cards per deck. Collaboration between The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Lingo Playing Cards. The naming convention used by The Met appears to be in the style of "The Met x [collaborator]". Not explicitly stated but probably Classic Air Cushioned Finish.
