Katsushika Hokusai spent a lifetime sketching the world around him, producing an estimated 30,000 drawings and paintings across nearly 270 books. This deck draws on that legacy, including imagery connected to his \u003cem\u003eThirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji\u003c\/em\u003e series, home to the print most people know simply as The Great Wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the artwork, it's a genuinely good deck to play with. The cards are printed on 250gsm stock with a varnish and linen finish, giving them enough flex to shuffle cleanly without feeling flimsy. Each box holds the full 52 cards plus 2 jokers, and two extra cards carrying artwork and a short artist biography, so there's a bit of context tucked in alongside the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNice for a card table, a bookshelf, or a gift for anyone who appreciates Japanese printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52 playing cards plus 2 jokers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 bonus cards featuring artwork and an artist biography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250 GSM card stock with varnish and linen finish for a smooth shuffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCard size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.4 x 8.9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.6 x 9.5 x 2.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Katsushika Hokusai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pomegranate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46384314646663,"sku":"PO-PD-110","price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/PD110_01.webp?v=1793418149","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/pomegranate-hiroshige-playing-cards","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
