Paths of Clouds and Gods – Twin Sumi-e Tarot Decks

Introduction – From Silence to Spirit

For years I have been fascinated by Japanese aesthetics — the poetry of silence, the beauty of impermanence, the quiet presence of the divine in nature. Tarot, to me, has always been more than fortune-telling. It is a mirror of the soul.From this connection, two tarot decks were born:

Kumo no Michi (雲の道) – The Path of the Clouds
Kami no Michi (神の道) – The Path of the Gods

Both decks are illustrated in traditional black ink sumi-e style, printed on uncoated recycled paper to preserve the raw texture of brush and breath. They follow the classical tarot structure, but each card is expanded with Japanese poetry, Zen philosophy, and mythic symbolism.This campaign is my invitation to you — to walk the path of clouds, to walk the path of gods.

The Two Decks

Kumo no Michi – Path of the Clouds

Symbolic, poetic, abstract.No human figures — only mist, wind, branches, cranes, moonlight, falling petals.Each card combines:Traditional tarot meaningA short haiku-style verseA quiet, introspective interpretation in the spirit of Zen and Mono no Aware (the sadness and beauty of impermanence).This deck is for those who read between the lines, who listen to silence.

Mythological, narrative, spiritual.A journey through the Japanese pantheon: Amaterasu, Susanoo, Tsukuyomi, Izanagi, Izanami, Raijin, Inari, and more.Each card reflects:A classical tarot archetypeA myth or divine storyIts wisdom for the human heartWhere Kumo no Michi whispers, Kami no Michi speaks in stories and thunder.
