Special limited edition of The Botan Tarot, a 78-card tarot deck featuring lush and whimsical watercolor illustrations, inspired by Art Nouveau and Japanese folklore.
This variant design is inspired by lacquer dishes the creator's family uses for new year celebrations, and a deep red edge color inspired by akane dye (a nod to the original indigo edges of Botan, both being popular dye colors in traditional Japanese textiles).
"Botan" in Japanese (written 牡丹) means "peony", which is the flower prominently featured on the back design of the tarot deck as well as on several cards. In Japanese flower language, peonies represent bravery. Botan is also a play on the word "botanical", as the creator uses Japanese flower language and other plant imagery throughout the deck.
A digital version of the Botan Tarot Zine can be purchased from the creator here. The deck already comes with a simple guidebook, but the Zine dives further into the folklores that inspired the drawings of each card.
