Tails Of Mischief - The Whey Of The Islands

Kickstarter Campaign Page Tails of Mischief is a limited-edition, full-bleed, art poker playing card deck that uses the canvas to tell a story. Inspired by Japanese ukiyoe wood-block printing, historical culture, and Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, it tells the story of four mischiefs of mice that each approach nature from a different perspective. Each of the four versions has its own custom tuck box and custom back. The faces depict the same scene, but from each mischief's differing perspective, with different seasonal details, special court colouring, and completely unique tens and jokers. The Whey of the Islands flows from knowledge. The Ryukyu mice have travelled further than any other, merchants and sailors all, and know that there is a natural ebb and flow to both nature and order. The Ryukyu mice, from the Ryukyu islands, set sail in summer. Flags and kites of flying fish thrash in the winds as they make land and their caravans parade the less-trodden trails. Their turquoise body-paint is brushed across the hills. Alas! Laws of the house restrict their movements, and the woods protest their merchant caravans. Aye, tides need be changing. The Ryukyu have set sail, will you ensure they find fair winds?
