Description: Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that enjoys immense popularity in Japan and internationally. Its brevity evokes a delightful simplicity; at the same time, its mesmerizing content imparts a level of sophistication that captures the attention of poetry lovers, literary scholars, and other cultivated persons. The parsimony in words that characterizes Haiku, and largely, Japanese poetry, combined with the depth of its meaning and its evocative power offers inspiring opportunities for utilization in the tarot universe. Based on artifacts of this mesmerizing poetic tradition, we have created a tarot deck whereby every single poem corresponds to a beautifully crafted painting (whichhas become a card). The majority of the poems utilized presently come from the Haiku genre, but few are associated with tanka and song form ? their beauty has been an inspiration during the creation of this wonderful tarot card deck; hence the decision to utilize them in this endeavor. The Tarot of Japanese Poetry features:87 beautifully illustrated cards derived from original paintingsA book companion A uniquely design box A unique element of the Tarot of Japanese Poetry is found in the structure and content of the Minor Arcana, which does not follow the stereotypical four-suit classification. Rather, each suit is treated as a season. The notion of seasons features centrally to reflect the fact that they figure so dynamically and poetically in Japanese culture, literature, and art. Accordingly, the four suits are organized around the idea of the four seasons, each of which is introduced by an extra card titled Day Before, i.e., Day Before Winter, Day Before Autumn, etc.
