We are Bloom Playing Cards, a creative hub that artfully captures the captivating essence of Japanese culture in our designs. Following the tremendous success of our debut project, 百鬼夜行 Hyakki Yagyō Playing Cards (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Playing Cards), we are thrilled to present our latest campaign, the 8th project in the renowned Room One Collection, that continues our playful spirits and mysteriousness, The Fox's Wedding Playing Cards.

Introducing the Shinto Edition, featuring an enigmatic vanishing tuck box and a floral pattern gilded edge . If the box is just opened normally, it appears empty, embodying the elusive nature of foxes in the folklore... Discover the hidden secret and unlock the mystery to reveal the deck within.

Legend has it that when foxes gather to celebrate their union, they create an ethereal atmosphere filled with enchantment and magic. The rain serves as a protective veil, shielding the foxes from human interference. It is said that witnessing a fox wedding is a rare and extraordinary sight, as these mystical creatures are elusive and often avoid human contact.

Just as the foxes hide behind the rain during their secret wedding ceremony, we have incorporated a vanishing tuck box to emulate this concept. When the box is not opened correctly, it appears empty, symbolizing the elusive nature of the foxes. Only those who unlock its secret are granted access to the hidden realm within, revealing the mesmerizing artistry and captivating imagery that lies beneath.

Each suit within the deck represents a distinct season, capturing the essence of nature's transformation throughout the year. The integration of the four seasons not only adds depth and symbolism to the deck but also serves as a reminder of the perpetual cycles of life and nature. It reflects the harmony between the foxes' wedding celebration and the eternal rhythm of the changing seasons, creating a profound connection with the world around us.

Each numbered card is graced with a corresponding number of foxes; for instance, the 3 of Hearts reveals three foxes within its enchanting design, weaving a tapestry of mystery and elegance.

Drawing inspiration from the captivating Japanese myth of "Kitsune no Yomeiri" – the Fox’s Wedding 狐の嫁入り – this deck combines the rich calendar symbolism of playing cards. The 12 court cards symbolize the 12 months of a year, merging time's passage with the mystical allure of the foxes.

By embracing The Fox's Wedding Playing Cards, you embark on a journey that captures the essence of the mythical tale and invites you to experience the magic, wonder, and hidden enchantment that lie within the captivating world of the foxes.

Dexter Amistad, an enthusiast in music and playing cards, created a group on Facebook named "DripDrop Sounds and ShuffleCut 52". It is a community where people would share their passion in playing cards and music, though it is usually the former that is most prominent in the group. One time, Dexter had a vision of a deck of playing cards which combines music with playing cards. He opened a survey about a deck where many designers can join in to submit their designs. To his surprise, many designers chimed in their creations, and to appreciate their hard work, Dexter decided to compile all of these works into the biggest collaboration deck ever. Introducing Unity Vol.1 Playing Cards.

There are a total of 28 designers participated in the creative creation of music and playing cards theme. For the Tuck Box, Courts, Aces, Jokers and Ad Card, they are in the work of one designer. For the Numbers, each designer created the design for each value from 2 to 10. It is a deck that showcase the flairs of the known designer of playing cards. There is an extra card that shows all of the Back Designs which some of the designers created for the deck. The cards are produced by Kingstar Playing Cards Co.
