Anyone on an inquisitive journey will enjoy this mini tarot deck. Seventy-eight cards that are thick, pliable, and pocket-sized. There is a Tiny Traveler edition of the original Sasuraibito Tarot deck.
Inspired by the Rider-Waite style deck, the artist, Stasia Burrington, does a great job translating symbolism and her thought process while designing the cards into a mini booklet. The cards and guidebook are packaged in a travel-size tuck box with lovely illustrations.
We all embark on different paths and journeys; this deck is a friendly guide to help you navigate and explore them. Take inspiration from Buddhist, Japanese, and modern ideas. Explore the artwork that has been curated with great expertise while the artist was new to tarot.
The Japanese word: "sasuraibito" most closely translates to "wanderer." It's an old-fashioned literary term that is falling out of use, meant to describe a person ever-seeking, searching for a place of healing and refuge. This deck is designed to aid the curious wanderer and accompany you on your adventures to come.
This 78 card deck is inspired loosely by the Raider-Waite deck, contemporary living in the Western world, and Japanese and Buddhist concepts and ideals.
