I've never been drawn to anime decks before. I don't like the pointy anime type faces! But I just saw some scans of the Moon Princess Himko deck and while I realize this deck is not true anime I think they're absolutely beautiful!! And of course very expensive! *LOL* So what I'm asking is - are there any similar decks to the Moon Princess? I like the elegant look vs. the true anime cartoon look. Anyone have any suggestions???

There was a posting about a month ago about Oriental, Asian or Japanese decks, there were 3 or 4 links to what's available over there. But I can't remember what the posting was called. Have you tried a google.com search for 'japanese tarot' or 'anime tarot'? None of them were being offered by the big 3 publishers, they were all out of Asia from what I remember. So looking via google & following links can get you into all sorts of interesting places, hopefully the ones you want.

have you ever seen the miracle deck? i don't know if that's looks too anime to you but i find it so lovely! sometimes you see it at ebay.

I don't know....the more I look at these decks the more I'm not sure I want one. :( I guess I need to wait longer and see if one really grabs my attention. The Miracle and Moon Princess Himko are the two I like the best, but I still don't know??? So I'm just going to wait until one shouts at me. LOL

In that case, search around online for those decks and see what's shown on different sites--you can usually see up to 70% of the deck that way since each will feature different cards. At least you'll get a good overview on what the basic deck looks like. It might help in making a decision.
