Mari Mihori Love Tarot (Ai No Tarot)
1988
Mari Mihori
Japan
Art Medium:
Finely detailed coloured pencil drawings.
Description:
Adopts imagery from Classical Greek mythology. The Star is Pandora, Judgement is Hermes/Mercury, the Devil is Pan, the Wheel of Fortune the three Fates, and so on. Beautifully detailed artwork. Some of the cards are unconventionally numbered . Thus the High Priestess is 'IV' and the Empress is 'II' - Emperor 'III' and Hierophant 'V'. This appears to be intentional as her other tarot deck also adopts this ordering. The cards are in the foam padded box characteristic of Japanese tarot packaging and come with a book in a slip case.
