This deluxe gift set is themed as a tribute to traditional Chinese women's clothing and makeup styles representative of different dynasties. The unique fan-shaped gift box includes a commemorative coin, a pin, and two decks of playing cards illustrated by distinct yet complementary approaches.

While "Maiden's Dawn (MD)" has a soft, graceful look reminding us of hand-drawn watercolor paintings, "Fairy's Mirror (FM)" is characterized by its dramatic, avant-garde expression. Shared between the two decks is their creative representation of the suits and the face cards, inspired by women's fashion of ancient China.

Both decks have laser-gilded edges, giving off rainbow-colored metallic sheens. Scented inks are used in printing, combining dreamy colors with evocative scents of vintage beauty

With the Keymaster project, I’ve added something new to the House of the Rising Spade and will show you twenty-two ancient chambers for you to explore: the major arcana of the tarot. These new chambers contain esoteric content and mysterious symbols based on the iconography of the two most popular historical tarot decks: the Tarot of Marseilles, a playing card deck, which dates back to at least the seventeenth century, and the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, an occult divination deck, first printed in 1910.

These historical tarot decks use the Latin suits of swords, batons (or wands), cups, and coins (or pentacles), but the original House of the Rising Spade was a deck that used the French suits of spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds. For the Keymaster, I merged the two suits, using the French suits as a base and putting the Latin suits from the Marseilles tarot on top as golden sigils. In this unique feature, the sigils seal the correspondences with a magical bond.

The House of the Rising Spade exists only in your imagination. The archetypes you find within are a foundation. I’ve given you hints and shown you a few parts of the world, but the rest is something you can explore in your head and build upon. The questions you can explore are endless. How big is this House? How many rooms? How many stories? How old is it? What is the interior like? Is it a ruin or still in its splendor?

Concept of the Sumi Playing Cards: Artist Edition

This deck is an homage to Irezumi, the traditional Japanese tattoo art form. The Sumi Playing Cards: Artist Edition faithfully emulates the iconic elements of ukiyo-e, fantastical mythological creatures, and Heroes of the Marsh. It forges a visual playing card masterpiece like no other. It is truly a masterpiece, bursting with symbolic significance at every movement of the cards, including spins, shuffles, fans, cardistry, and more.
