Urashima Tarou Playing Cards | GREEN LOUVER Edition by Room One

Description

Louver Tuck Box

This profound transformation from youth to old age is captured in the Louver Tuck Box, a centerpiece of the deck. As you trigger the mechanism, Urashima Tarou’s image changes, first revealing him as a vibrant young man full of life and potential, then transforming him into a frail, aged figure. This duality reflects the fleeting nature of time, reminding us of life’s impermanence and the delicate balance between dreams and reality.

The number cards of the Urashima Tarou Playing Cards are a seamless blend of art and symbolism, designed as a transformation deck. Each suit gracefully merges into intricate illustrations that depict key moments from Urashima Tarou’s journey. From the serene depths of the sea to the timeless allure of the Dragon Palace, every card transforms the ordinary into a visual narrative, immersing players in a tale where numbers and graphics unite to tell the story of youth, adventure, and the passage of time for Urashima Tarou.

The court cards of the Urashima Tarou Playing Cards beautifully capture the duality of time through the story’s key characters. Each court card features both the youthful and aged versions of Urashima Tarou, Princess Otohime, and other figures from the tale. This contrast between their vibrant beginnings and their transformed selves reflects the core themes of the legend, innocence and wisdom, fleeting moments and eternal consequences, inviting players to explore the delicate interplay between past and present with every glance.
