Japanese Tarot

[moondatter]

Maybe someone can help me with some info on this deck...The Tarot of Wicca, illustrated by H. Kitagawa, published by Seitosha in Tokyo, Japan. I bought this deck about 10 years ago and have not seen another one like it anywhere. Does anyone have any info about this deck??? Really would appreciate any comments

Yep, those are the ones I have. I heard the artist who did the illustrations for the cards couldn't be found to give approval for another edition of the cards...so the deck's worth increased to about $300 for the original edition... (I paid $12 for the deck and remembered getting 'goosebumbs' when I picked up the deck to look at it!) This info was told to me by a tarot reader in Denver, Co. about 10 years ago...
Thanks for posting the link.
