It’s here!! Yaaaay!!

Years of reading, rereading, drawing and obsessing later, I’m super excited to be able to say that the genjimonogatari card deck is a reality!

It’s a portable mini-art deck featuring all 55 illustrations I created in the Genjimonogatari series from 2018 to 2022 in ink and watercolour and comes in a cute little mint tin. You can enjoy it as a straightforward visual art deck, or use it as a tool to help deepen your understanding of the many fascinating themes and relationships in the Tale of Genji - and as a playable deck for fun minigames!

If you check out the product page, there’s a companion PDF booklet - for free, you don’t need to buy the physical deck to be able to download and read it!

It includes:

A high-level introduction to the Tale of Genji and why it’s so amazing

Ideas and examples for using the deck as a tool and to create/play an assortment of simple Tale of Genji-themed games

An overview of all 55 cards by illustration accompanied by my amateur attempt at compressing the richness of every single character down to one very short paragraph each to help you get to know them

A big thank you to @ancient-trees (who creates a wonderful fantasy adventure webcomic called Tamuran) for helping me to review the booklet. (Any mistakes are my own. If you find any horrible glaring typos/issues in the booklet, let me know and I will do my best to update/correct where possible. I have spent way too long flipping back and forth on footnotes and commentary and references… so grateful for Royall Tyler’s detailed footnotes and appendices!)

Unlike western mermaids, they tend to be of a mournful nature, a behavioral trait also derived from Atargatis.

If I’m reading this correctly

it looks like Perseus was one of the first heroes to have an interracial marriage

Because apparently Andromeda was a princess of Ethiopia…?

I mean someone correct me if I’m wrong but this is pretty cool
