I'm deleting this post, as plans have changed a bit. I'll soon let you know. ;)

Thanks!

Very nice!

There's no way this should be Bicycle branded. It would completely ruin your current design aesthetic on the Tuck front!

Just a heads-up, I think you and Paul are using a similar background pattern (http://encarded.com/deco/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
It's funny how similar patterns could work nicely with 2 very different themed decks!

thanks, Randy

Thanks Randy,

I agree about bicycle, that was exactly my concern. Arches are totally opposed to Japanese aesthetics.

The pattern I use is a very typical traditional Japanese pattern. Many patterns can be found almost identical throughout history in very different cultures.

Very cool. I like how the back design looks very free flowing, feels 'open' compared to some of the tight intricate back designs...refreshing

Yes, there will definitely be samurai soldiers. But not only.

Japanese history and literature has plenty of queens, princesses, aristocratic ladies, and yes, courtesans and geishas. (Which were not the same thing.)

Thank you Soliloquy, I have many books about Japanese art but I didn't have that. It will help. I already have some ideas ;)

That comment coming from an Asian is really valuable! Thanks.
