Can you see the crazy squirrel? Look at the right side of the front cover down to the bottom of the front tuck. There he hides with arms upraised to put those wonderful decks away in the trees (shown on the back side of the tuck. The squirrel then moves away on the back side on the right bottom of the back side of the tuck after putting the prized decks away. The rare UNBROKEN series was launched by Seasons Playing Cards in a unique mystery deck sale. This was an experimental launch based around the premise that each deck would be unique in its own way. Only 250 “experiments” were produced in this extremely labor intensive project. Each piece is signified by a holographic seal featuring the Seasons logo featuring an ‘X’ indicating the eXperimental series along with a ‘1of 1’. This deck is printed with a unique dimpled high-gloss finish showcasing the design below along with a shimmering silver foil that showcases the cracks and repairs of the deck. The cards inside feature an animated blooming back design that when flipped will show the logo flowering and closing with the different seasons. The deck gilding is made to match the tuck. The two piece Jokers showcase a piece of the card falling off with the repair paint revealing a ‘J’ to complete the Joker titling. The AoS follows similar in suit with a “broken” face revealing the spade shape with a custom pattern to match the back design and the ‘Experimental Series’ tag below.

This is the reprinted edition of a work of Sumio Kawakami, a Japanese woodblock artist, made in 1960. His sensitivity toward the changes of the seasons is brilliant. Each suit is assigned four seasons; for example, clubs are spring, diamonds are summer, hearts are fall, and spades are winter. Moreover, each number is assigned motifs too; for example, there are fruits on the card numbered 7, so diamond suit (summer) has bright red water melons, and hearts suit (fall) has persimmons. It’s certainly that you enjoy the passage of seasons when you play sevens. These playing cards make us feel nostalgic for the seasons which are the root of a Japanese sense of beauty.
