Yōkai Tarot - Journey of the Soul and Japanese Spirits

€24,90

The box set contains a book of 180 pages and 78 beautifully illustrated cards, where the incredible genius of Matthew Meyer, world-renowned expert on yōkai (Japanese spirits), combines with the cultural background of Marianna Zanetta. Having dedicated part of his life to various research on Japanese territory, concerning popular religious practices, shamanic figures and cults dedicated to the dead, he combined his passion for tarot cards with his anthropological study, associating a card with each yōkai. The most singular characters and symbols of Japanese spirituality are thus identified with the classic figures of the tarot, which thus appear in a completely new light.
