the deck is beautiful, in gold foil with red dancers flowing all across it.
The artist did a very good job of translating and melding the original tarot images and meanings with Chinese mythology, giving each card a slight twist but not making it unrecognizable.

Instead of a booklet with this deck you get a fold out paper that has the interpretation of all the cards and includes an brief explanation for the Chinese elements behind it which I find fascinating and very helpful.

Also unlike regular tarot decks, the cards are smaller, more narrow and oblong than squared and for once I find them physically easy to manipulate and use.

I don't use this one for readings as I usually find myself so caught up in the images and differences, but I do love just taking it out and admiring it.
