Three hundred years ago, the scholar Pu SongLing wrote "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio", capturing all the warmth and coldness of the mortal world among fox spirits and ghosts. Many wonderful stories in the book have been passed down to later generations and become an immortal monument in Eastern literature. Three hundred years later, ARK explores Eastern fantastical aesthetics once again. With ink-wash as the charm and playing cards as the medium, combine with our proud ARK CASE, we present a highly narrative three-dimensional four-sided theater before your eyes.
Artist Box Set This gift box features an innovative structure with an embedded square viewing window, perfectly sized to fit the fully unfolded pop-up theatre tuck. Place the expanded tuck inside the window, and the box transforms into an elegant display stand, showcasing the full ingenuity of the four-sided theatre design. This one-of-a-kind design turns unboxing into an immersive visual journey, unlike any previous edition.
This is one of the decks stored inside the box set - Special Edition.
