Animedia Tarot      1988      Japan                                                   Art Medium: Pen drawn outlines, mostly coloured with coloured pencils, with a few in watercolour. Description: This seems to have been issued as a gift tarot in a Japanese magazine in the late 1980s. The 22 card deck appears to be based on a game and the company may have been an earlier incarnation of the present day large multimedia publishing group e-animedia. The artwork for this earlier tarot is by a number of artists known in the computer game and manga arena, Takayuki Goto, Toyoo Ashida, Mutsumi Inomata and Hatsuki Tsuji. Some of the artwork is quite conventional tarot imagery but rather cute and engaging.
