I must be psychic, I emailed him (her?) today asking about this deck!

LOL! Well, you must indeed be. It is a she and she can't always get what you want straight away. But she will keep a look-out. I got the wonderful Japanese Cat tarot by asking her.

In Japan, the deck for domestic market is not so popular. I dunno this deck until reading this thread, lol. This deck is already out-of-print. Auction is the only way to get it.

:: Only 700 yen (6USD). Disappointedly, the seller will not ship to the foreign country.

Thanks for the link (and the further temptation!) Diseree. Too bad they won't ship to Canada ... and too bad I can't read Japanese!

I have sent you a PM.

mau-e does have this deck. But the price is scary. So no go

I found this deck at Yahoo-Japan auction. The auction has been ended just now. Starting price is only 700yen(6USD), but final bid is 2700yen(23.5USD). I gave up at 1760 yen.

Just had to bump this up; a very kind AT'er in Japan purchased it for me and I got it on Tuesday

It's lovely. It really is. The lines are so nice and clean, and there's enough variation in some of the cards to make this not just another RWS clone. I love the Death card. But I haven't had the time yet to play with it and figure out what to make of the two extra cards ...

Congrats QoP! I also really like this deck. I think it is one of the prettiest Japanese decks out there. And you are right, it is not a mere RWS clone, but close enough to work with if you only use the RWS. Glad you could get a copy after all.

No, that is not the same as the Neko's House. I also have that one, and yes, it is lovely. But the Japanese Cat tarot is my Alexandra Mokeseioh and out of print. Just check out Tarotgarden for pictures. I saw them and fell in love. Ok, so I first got outbid by that same Tarotgarden , but I finally did get a copy.

Ummmm.... We must have words. The one I have is COVERED with cats.... but I don't read Japanese. You know where I got it; could it be misnamed ???? I know there are other oriental decks in the lot she has, some as yet unidentifed, she said....

PS mine is the TG one listed as Cat's House..... artist unknown....
