Yokai Tarot Deck

Yokai Tarot

By Paolo Bertazzo • Illustrated by Marga Biazzi

Your tarot reading just got considerably more mischievous.

Inspired by the rich world of Japanese folklore, the Yokai Tarot introduces you to the mysterious spirit-like beings known as yōkai—entities said to inhabit forests, seas, secluded corners of homes, and just about anywhere else they decide humans have gotten a little too comfortable. Some appear human, others take the form of animals or even ordinary objects, and their personalities range from peaceful and protective to decidedly troublesome.

Written by Paolo Bertazzo with striking artwork by Marga Biazzi, this 78-card deck brings these legendary beings into the archetypal world of tarot. Each Arcanum becomes an encounter with a different yōkai, drawing upon its stories, characteristics, cunning, and centuries-old wisdom to offer a new perspective on the questions you bring to the cards.

The result is a deck that feels mysterious, playful, occasionally unsettling, and deeply rooted in storytelling. Whether you're drawn to tarot, Japanese folklore, mythology, or simply appreciate a deck that refuses to behave predictably, Yokai Tarot offers an imaginative new world to explore with every reading.
