I dedicate this post to several decks of cards, traditional Tarot cards, which are based on the beautiful images of traditional Japan.
Some of them are reproductions of great painters or based on Japanese Ukiyo-e style.
"Ukiyo-e (浮世 絵, Ukiyo-e?) " pictures of the floating world ", or Japanese prints. It is a genre of prints (made by engraving or etching technique in wood) produced in Japan between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, among which are landscape images, the theater and pleasure quarters. "
"Ukiyo, refers to the impetuous young culture that bloomed in the urban center of Edo (now Tokyo), Osaka, and Kyoto that were a world unto themselves. It is an ironic allusion to the homophone term" Sorrowful World " (憂き 世) , the earthly plane of death and rebirth in which Buddhism is based. " (More info HERE )
