"Identify this deck" game - Page 72

Once again, I'm handing out a karma half-point for the guess. But it's not the Fradella deck.

Well, the ball keeps on rolling. I am not one to give up now. . .!

Is it Card # XI - Justice , from the Moonprincess Himiku Tarot

?

Jeannette · 06-05-2005

Hee hee! That's it! A barrel full of karma points for BlueLotus! (Actually, I knew it as "Himiko", but close enough.)

Did you figure it out from the pic, the clue, or both?

Oh, and here's the full pic.

Jeannette, I did a search ( my own way) here at AT for some eastern name decks and images, which took me over to TG and found the exact card there.

It took me less than 5 minutes to find it.

Yeah, I had figured that once I got a large enough section posted, the sample would just scream "Japanese!," and someone would have it in a snap. But I guess I can see why it also gave the impression it was Italian -- it has a bit of that "Lo Scarabeo" flavor to it. However, I thought the Katana in the larger pic might start steering folks more eastward.

Like all classy puzzle/riddles, it had to rhyme!

Here's a clue - a cryptic guide

I'm hoping it will turn the tide (= "Moon," which "turns the tides")

My aim has been both high and noble (= "Princess," a high-ranking noble)

It might help if you can "think global" (trying to steer people away from checking only North American and European decks here)

Karma decrees that you'll certainly win

Once you can figure out how to begin (look at the beginning letter of each line!)

You're up, BlueLotus!

Thank you Jeannette.

I am not sure how familiar anyone is with my next image/deck , but my guess is that it will probably be either you know it at a glance or you have no clue.

Here goes:
