RAIJIN

The Raijin deck is part of a 2 deck set. The two decks recreate the Japanese classic stories of Fujin and Raijin, with a 21st century look. Raijin is the god of lightning, thunder and storms. The design of Fujin Playing Cards and Raijin Playing Cards is the result of a collaboration between the UK illustrator, Fionn Jordan and Bombmagic. Fionn Jordan is an art traveler who has lived in both, Japan and Taiwan for several years, so he is already deep into East Asian culture. Fionn is good at creating comics, hence our inviting him to join this project. The blue deck is Fujin, and the red deck is Raijin. You'll immediately notice the two styles used for the card backs, ghost cards and boxes. 12 court cards were designed with blue spades and clubs for Fujin, and red hearts and diamonds for Raijin, going together like brothers. For numbers, the decks are customized utilizing watercolor strokes from Fionn Jordan. This project was the first time for Bombmagic to do tripartite cross-border cooperation with Taiwan, Japan, and UK. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/263-raijin
