Created by acclaimed illustrator Naoki Yamamoto, this special second edition reimagines the artwork from the original Japanese Mythology Tarot with a festive summer theme.

• Alternate Judgement (Tsukuyomi – Male Deity)
When performing tarot readings, simply choose either the original or the alternate version of The Moon and Judgement according to your preference.
