I saw a fun game and thought about this thread
1. One idea...

2.
I came across a beautiful 'travel' journal for $4.00 at the Barnes and Noble sale section...and thought it would be a cool logbook for a map-astrology kind of game--say take Hodges' Astronomical cards with the constellations and a legend such as the celestial ship Argos dreamily sailing among the heavens with the spirits of those looking for the Golden Fleece of Aries...and catch Pegasus along the way...that kind of thing.
3.
But I digress...I'm actually fiddling around with a gorgeous Japanese collection of blue inky hues on a flower plate and thinking of an impossible sea that mirrors the celestial heavens...and the magical creatures of an imagined island...
Paper and pigment, star and sea
Sleepy summer child raise your eyes
All come from the imaginary
What worlds can you devise?
4.
Or perhaps I will run back to Mitsuwa and pick up the green or plum-red hues and each chapter will be color-coordinated to an element...perhaps like the Hero movie segments...
5.
Or perhaps none of the above, but I will find a way to add Benten to my own Unsun Karuta, as the Seven Gods of Good Fortune float under the Tanabata Bridge, on the River of the Milky Way...halfway home toward the dreams of those who also make wishes on New Year's Day...
Thanks for the fun thread...
Embroidering summer nights
with fancies free...
