3.0 out of 5 stars A museum piece, yes, but a reading tool it is not., July 9, 2002

JPH "JPH" (Crawley) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Chinese Tarot Deck (Cards)

This is probably the most beautiful tarot in my collection. Jiu's expert implementation of flowing vibrant colors, fine lines and subtle shading resulted in 78 breathtaking mini-paintings. His women are exquisitely fine-boned and willowy, the men debonair and gallant, and the sceneries ---- absolutely evocative. If you gaze at these beautifully scenic cards long enough, you'll want to leap into them and be part of the action!

The down-side is that 75% of these 78 cards do not conform with their traditional Tarot assignations. The worst culprits are the pips - total chaos... It seemed Stuart Kaplan forgot to give Jiu basic lessons on Tarot symbology (or a reference Rider-Waite deck) when he commissioned him. However, the alluring nature of the artwork is such that it has you thinking that you underpaid when you bought this "tarot" deck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loads of Info, September 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chinese Tarot Deck (Cards)

You will learn Chinese history will these cards too. It explains what each card is. Who the person on each card is, what is important with the person ect. The artwork is outstanding... if you like the Asian style... you'll love these cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Deck of Pure Beauty, November 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chinese Tarot Deck (Cards)

I collect Tarot cards as art, and this is the most lyrically beautiful deck I have ever seen. Guoliang's renditions of Tarot symbolism in Chinese traditional style literally brought tears to my eyes. I have them framed and on my library wall. I would recommend this deck as a visual feast if nothing more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
This is a very beautiful deck. The only reason why I didn't rate it more as I would like to see a larger book with more information available on each card.
