Design and Artwork

The An Ukiyo-e Lenormand oracle deck by Robert M. Place is a 36-card deluxe deck inspired by the Japanese “floating world” art style, Ukiyo-e. Each card is edged in gold and contained in a cloth-covered box, creating an aura of elegance and tradition. The deck integrates Japanese art and culture, featuring Shinto deities, Buddhist bodhisattvas, and other mythic figures, offering a unique blend of Eastern and Western symbolism.

Symbolism and Themes

This deck blends traditional Lenormand imagery with elements of Japanese culture, sometimes modifying the traditional meanings to align with Eastern philosophy and mythology. The use of Shinto and Buddhist figures, along with other Japanese cultural symbols, provides a fresh perspective on divination and encourages users to explore new interpretations and insights.

User Experience

The An Ukiyo-e Lenormand has been praised for the quality of its images and the sturdy, beautifully designed red box. The cards’ golden edges and traditional Japanese paintings are appreciated by both collectors of Japanese art and Lenormand enthusiasts. While it deviates from traditional Lenormand imagery, it offers a unique and enriching divination experience.
