The Fujin 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. Fujin is the Japanese god of the wind, often depicted holding a large bag of wind on his shoulders. 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.

The cards are smooth cut, fully customized with deep detail. Each fresh look uncovers a new secret. Aurelians are so intricate that we had to employ specialists to experiment with different weights of foil and ink to create this modern artifact. Own a piece of playing card history today. 270 AD: the Price of Loyalty Aurelian's first bold move into power was to take control over the imperial mint. Forging gold coins to donate to his troops, guaranteeing their loyalty. We've captured that narrative with a strong border topped with his signature coin, drawing inwards to a medallion-inspired centre piece that looks hypnotic in your hands. 271 AD: Rags to Riches Emperor Aurelian, born to humble beginnings, understood the people's wants. Upon rising to power he cancelled the people's private debts to the treasury. Each courtier card has been draped in gold and fully re-worked to stand proudly with the powerful design. The faces have also been completely re-sculpted to create a timeless pip arrangement, whilst still remaining recognizable for magic. 272 AD: Paid in Blood Exquisite detail meets historical significance. Aurelian's custom ace is a symbol for the "Soldier-Emperor". His reign, though short, was marked by bloody and glorious conquest. Gold ink swords, whips and throwing spears drape themselves over the stunning spade. It's the most important card in a deck and it's the only one with golden pips. 273 AD: Power and Glory Aurelian was a celebrated military leader, enjoying amongst his titles the moniker "Restitutor Orbis; Restorer of the World, claiming back much of the previously lost Roman Empire. The Jokers are a homage to the Tally-Ho cowboys we've all come to love. These soldiers stand resolute ready to defend an empire...Or to overthrow one.

Funded on Kickstarter on Sept 6, 2014 with delivery starting in early December 2014. Both the standard white deck and a stretch goal for an alternate colored deck called Mint were created. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/798111038/four-point-playing-cards-uspcc-printed

Timeless Americana is laced throughout the design, with iconography of colonial America and patriotic symbols of peace, prosperity, and potential. Unions are Made in America, using FSC-certified paper, vegetable-based inks, and starch-based laminates.

Unions were designed by Jay Fletcher in Charleston, South Carolina - one of the oldest and most historic cities in America.

Over a year in development, every aspect of the design was created from scratch - from the breathtaking court cards to the back design and Ace of Spades.
