Musha & Goketsu Playing Cards is Card Experiment latest foray into the visual and thematic realms of Japanese culture following our most successful series of campaigns to date – Sumi Kitsune playing cards and coins campaigns. Musha & Goketsu revolves around the intricate and colourful visual elements of Musha-e, traditional Japanese woodblock printing featuring portrayals of warrior figures, and the equally colourful characters of Suikoden, a tale of a band of Robin Hood-esque hero bandits.

• Illustrated by Yosuke Ando, Graphic designer based in Tokyo, Japan.
• Fully custom pips & courts.
• Cards printed by the United States Playing Card Company. Made in USA.
• Craft Edition Tuck cases made of Premium Cotton Gmund Paper from Germany. Limited Edition.
• Letterpressed ink/metallic foiled tuck cases for Craft Edition produced and assembled in Hong Kong.

There are three decks in this series: MUSHA Regular, GOKETSU Regular & GOKETSU Craft, featuring three different card backs and card designs.

We are now working closely with a craft letterpress company for printing of our Craft decks’ tuck cases. Proximity is our advantage. We have worked well with them in Sumi Kitsune projects and remained in regular and close correspondence to understand and optimize our processes and theirs for smooth production.

The Goketsu Craft tuck case will be letterpressed and foil stamped on premium cotton paper from Gmund Germany.
