This entirely Okinawan collaborative project features Shimanchu (Okinawan/Ryukyuan), reimaginings of the Major Arcana from the Tarot.
 

The project centers around the 22 Major Arcana, or archetypes, as found in the Rider-Waite Tarot, which are reimagined through the creative minds of 29 different artists of Okinawan ancestry from around the world. We have allowed for more than one interpretation of an archetype, as we believe there is wisdom and nuance in our intuition.  (ie. you will see that there are three versions of 'III -The Empress', two versions of 'XVIII - The Moon', two versions of 'XXI - The World', etc.)

​

The project began in 2021 and we are finally ready to unveil the collection of artwork for this project! While at this time we have focused on the Major Arcana, we hope to release the Minor Arcana as well as a series of artwork from non-Shimanchu artists and allies in the future.

​

As we are still working on producing the actual tarot cards and the companion book, we have released a limited promotional poster!  You can choose from two sizes of poster: medium size poster: 18 x 24 inches or large size poster: 24 x 36 inches. Please see below for details and how to purchase.

​

100% of the proceeds from this project (poster, tarot deck, book, and any other future items) will be donated to a cause or non-profit of the artist collective's choosing.  Donations are of course gratefully appreciated.
