Where Japanese folklore meets the tarot: this remarkable boxed set brings together the extraordinary illustrations of Matthew Meyer — the world's foremost expert on yōkai — and the anthropological research of Marianna Zanetta, who spent years studying folk religion, shamanic figures and ancestor cults in Japan.
Each of the 78 beautifully illustrated cards pairs a yōkai — a spirit or creature from Japanese tradition — with a classic tarot archetype, casting familiar figures in a completely new light. The result is an intuitive, visually stunning tool that helps guide everyday decisions and sharpen intuition, with no prior tarot experience required.
The 180-page book walks readers through every card interpretation, explaining each yōkai-arcana pairing with clarity and cultural insight. Whether you use it as a divination tool or simply as a visual journey through Japanese mythology, this set delivers on both counts.
