🪶 Collector’s Note

This Chinese-style pocket tarot is extremely hard to find today.
Magazine-exclusive decks were printed once, in very limited numbers, and never reissued in shops.
Because surviving copies often suffered heavy wear, having a complete deck—even with minor defects—is already rare.

Its unique mix of Asian spiritual motifs and early-2000s graphic design makes it a true oddity beloved by collectors of obscure tarots, promotional decks, and miniature arcana.
