The card back features geometric patterns rendered in fluorescent rose pink. Under uv light, the geometric design comes alive with a vivid, dimensional glow—floating and dynamic, as light and shadow linger while colors subtly shift and flow, grand yet mesmerizing.
Fluorescence becomes an unexpected gift beyond the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars. Its faint glow gradually gathers, until it converges into a brilliant river of light across the cosmos.
The tuck is built through flowing light and shadow, forming a design language that carries both art and spirit. At its center, planetary motion blends with fluorescent patterns, creating a layered, three-dimensional visual effect that delivers a striking sense of impact—fully expressing the energy and wonder of light. The refined hyperbolic curves merge seamlessly with luminous ripples, while UV lighting enhances a futuristic sense of movement and modern design.
On the card back, fluorescent vibrant orange forms a geometric composition, evoking an endless sense of rotating order. Under ultraviolet light, the pattern becomes vividly dimensional—fluid, dynamic, and alive—capturing the depth and boundlessness of light. As light and shadow shift and conceal themselves, the composition gains greater dimensional force, as if everything is being granted a soul.
Perseus is a prominent northern constellation. Around midnight on November 7, its center culminates at the upper meridian. Observers north of 31° south latitude can see the full constellation. On autumn nights, it is easily recognized in the northern sky by several 2nd–3rd magnitude stars forming a curved arc or a “human” shape.
On the tuck, planetary paths weave together into the coordinates of Perseus. Against the vast cosmic backdrop, the constellation blooms in a quiet wilderness like a lighthouse guiding lost travelers. Across the boundless stars, it gathers across billions of light-years, answering a vow of protection and revelation—carrying not only the wisdom of the universe, but also the trajectories of our own lives.
The Sun is the foundation of all growth, a living card within the galaxy, and a symbol of soul and subconscious. On the card back, it burns brilliantly like an unfolding nebula—the heart of the cosmos—radiating endless energy into the stars. Whether at sunrise or amid shifting constellations, it remains a steady light of guidance and grace.
The tuck uses a minimalist visual language to tell an ancient, distant story. Lantern light fades into the night, wildfires and phosphorescence dissolve in the wind, and a cold hue lingers over red blossoms—both tender and unforgiving.

The card faces feature a restrained classical palette, balancing traditional aesthetics with modern design sensibility.
There are no immortal souls in this world—only the unbreakable complexity of the human heart. Since ancient times, fox spirits have been associated with deep emotion, offering their full spectrum of joy, anger, sorrow, and desire. Within love that can never be fulfilled, they embody the timeless entanglement of affection and heartbreak, weaving stories of human nature that echo through the ages.
In the solitude of deep mountains, far removed from the human world, an isolated realm emerges. Mist drifts across the valleys, red plum blossoms seem to gesture in silence, and desire spreads in stillness, quietly intoxicating those who linger. One may wish to move forward with a lantern in hand, yet the night is too deep—so deep that even enlightenment struggles to reach the human eye.
Along the card spine, traditional motifs fade and flow into one another, forming an endless narrative landscape. Every detail feels like a fragment of an untold legend—distinct yet interconnected—together composing a fantastical tale of emotion, desire, and the ever-turning cycle of fate.
It embraces a more energetic fluorescent palette as a new expression, weaving sensibility, fluidity, and spirituality into every design detail.
Under ultraviolet light, a faint glow slowly emerges in the darkness—unassuming, yet powerful enough to awaken perception and allow emotions to flow freely between light and shadow.

Sanshusha is a printing company with over 100 years of history, deeply rooted in Japan’s literary legacy.
It was the press behind Shirakaba, a magazine that played a vital role in modern Japanese literature, and a place frequently visited by writers such as Saneatsu Mushanokoji, Naoya Shiga, and Takeo Arishima for manuscript proofreading.
Beyond Shirakaba, influential literary publications such as Subaru, Myojo, and Seito were also printed by Sanshusha—making it a long-standing pillar supporting Japan’s literary culture.
This Blue edition transforms that heritage into a visual language.
The tuck case features a fusion of the Sanshusha logo and classic club mark, while the card faces incorporate illustrations from Sanshusha’s original 1928 cut collection—details that could only emerge from a century-old printing house.
As with the Black edition, proofreading symbols are woven into the design, echoing the beauty of typesetting and editorial precision.

This black edition transforms that heritage into design—proofreading marks, typesetting symbols, and intentional “errors” are woven across the card faces.
Misaligned suits, altered numbers, and subtly changed court cards echo the beauty of the printing process itself, making this deck a fascinating tribute to the art of print.
