Strength
The lion stays. But here strength is a woman in a kimono resting her hand on it under a golden moon. Composure, not force.

I own twenty-one tarot decks and this deck is the most beautiful of all.Lisa G., verified buyer · See every side
Turn it over
Every side was designed.
Not just the front.
Most decks put all the effort into the card faces. We spent just as long on the parts you see every time you shuffle.
裏 · 01
The backs
Matte black with a hidden seigaiha wave pattern. A pale full moon crossed by cherry blossoms in metallic pink foil that flashes when the light moves.
縁 · 02
The edges
Solid black on all sides. Closed, the deck looks like one smooth dark stone in your hand.
表 · 03
The faces
78 paintings in soft Japanese ink and pastel color. Kimonos, pagodas, lotus ponds, samurai and a lot of moonlight.
箱 · 04
The box
A two-piece collector box with a rising sun lid and a wave pattern hiding at the seam. It stays on the shelf, not in a drawer.
The cards
Seventy-eight paintings.
One journey.
Every suit has its own world. Cups live among lotus flowers and moon water. Swords belong to the samurai. Wands glow gold. Pentacles shine like coins in a temple garden.
Look a little closer
Familiar meanings.
A softer point of view.
Temperance
A woman in a black kimono pours water under the full moon. Balance, patience, one quiet step at a time.
The Hanged Man
A figure hangs from an ancient tree above a lotus pond. The pause before you see things differently.
Who it's for
Made for people who
notice the details.
Collectors with 20 decks already
The one that still stands out on the shelf. Black edges next to all the gold ones.
Everyone who fell in love with Japan
Kyoto temples, ukiyo-e prints and cherry blossoms, in a deck you can hold.
Readers who want calm, not chaos
Soft colors and quiet scenes. Readings that slow you down instead of scaring you.
One card with the morning tea
A daily pull ritual that looks as good on the table as your favorite cup.
Anime and manga fans
Every card reads like a single frame from a beautiful film.
Men who read tarot
The whole Swords suit is samurai. Clean black design, nothing cute about it.
Witches who read at midnight
A moon on every back. It looks best by candlelight.
The friend who has everything
She has candles and crystals. She doesn't have this.

How the art was made
From first sketch
to finished card.
We would rather tell you than have you wonder. The first character concepts for Tabi no Kokoro were developed with AI tools. That was the starting point, not the deck.
From there our designer reworked every card by hand: faces, kimono patterns, the colour palette, the moon and the small symbols that carry each card's meaning. The creative work is in those decisions: what belongs in a scene, what has to change, and how it reads as a tarot card.
Before you choose
Questions
Is it good for beginners?
Yes. It follows the Rider-Waite system, and the guide explains every card with its picture and meaning.
Which guide is included?
The Deck and the Deck + Geisha Oracle editions include the 78-page digital guide as a PDF. The printed guide edition includes a physical book.
What is the Geisha Oracle?
Geisha no Tamashii Tabi is a separate 36-card Lenormand deck with its own guide, drawn in the same Japanese world. Great for quick yes or no questions next to your tarot.
How was the artwork made?
The first character concepts were developed with AI tools. Every card was then reworked by hand by our designer: details, colours and the symbols that carry its meaning. See how.
Shipping and returns?
Free shipping on orders from $90. Unopened decks can be returned within 30 days.
作り手 The people behind Maneo
A small studio.
A long journey.
Tabi no Kokoro is the second chapter of our Tabi collection. Our first deck, Reitekina Tabi, started the journey, and its readers helped shape this one: softer colours, clearer symbolism, the familiar tarot structure. Brought to life with 158 Kickstarter backers.
