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.

Hidden under a bed of crispy leaves is a mini deck of wood mice playing cards, made perfectly for the mice themselves. - Interactive mini art poker playing cards. - Limited print run.

The Whey of the Woods is rooted in acceptance - that there is a natural flow and it is our own nature to scuttle and fall with it. The spirits of the forest guide their scouts, the flow of the whey pulls their hunters’ bow-strings.

The wood mice dance with the winds of autumn. Buried deep within the forest Burrow, an underground labyrinthian village, pups and elders nestle away stockpiles of acorns - assuming the Jays don't pinch them first.

But persistent field mice cut into their borders at the behest of the arrogant house, and Ryuku mice travel and hunt unfettered.

The Burrow must rise, will you help protect the forest?

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 Fields stems from adaptation. The field mice understand, live together with and shape the fields. They grow cotton bolls to dye clothes and pad roofing, and clovers for tiling, but only when the season permits.

The field mice thrive in spring, as flowers bloom. Cherry petals litter the turned soil, and the field mice celebrate the doll festival and butsuse with ogre masks and throwing beans.

But under the paws of the house mice, and constant threat from the woods, tensions are rising and squeaky whispers fill tavern corners.

The fields are being called to hand, will you help them answer?

The Whey of the House has its foundation in order. The house mice, living beneath the floorboards of the Nazo Nazo guest house and dreaded Nenya cats, need structure for the safety of all, and the command of nature itself.

The house mice huddle up in winter. Their infrastructures and commerce working like clockwork. Huge maruda dolls celebrate the coming of new years and opportunities for improvement. (Story heavily inspired by a whimsical interpretation of Japanese culture, such as Daruma dolls).

However, the uncompromising wood mice hold all mice-kind back, and revolts in the fields threatens the delicate order.

The house is on the move, will you see order restored?
