Each element corresponds to the ancient legends and forms the compositional system of the tarot cards. This creates a world full of mysterious power. Additionally, each set of 'Classic of Mountains and Seas Tarot' comes with a guardian divine beast, imbuing the tarot with unique power attributes."
We correspond the ancient East Asian bronze guardian beasts 'XuanWu,' 'QingLong,' 'ZhuQue,' and 'BaiHu' with the astrological elements 'Water,' 'Air,' 'Fire,' and 'Earth.' These mythical creatures serve as the guardians of this tarot deck, housed within the tarot card box. Crafted from pure copper, each divine beast remains a mystery until you receive the tarot cards. You won't know which guardian divine beast and attributes are associated with the tarot deck destined for you. This aligns with the Eastern mysticism belief that the universe is connected to your magnetic field, much like Schrödinger's cat. Only at the moment of unveiling is the answer revealed.

such as patterns on some door frame, have had blended and overlaid using AI. Our team believes that tarot decks are more than just visually appealing patterns; they carry deep meanings that require the artist's understanding of the symbolism behind each card. While AI can indeed enhance painting efficiency, we don't believe it can possess the empathy needed to connect with the universe.
