Parish Cherry's Hanafuda

Another great looking deck! This one is by designer Parish Cherry.  I just love the image of the frog on the lily pad but feel that the design of that card loses something without the 'Rain-man'.  The Harvest Moon card is very evocative of a balmy summer's evening in the fields.

Kelsey Cretcher's Hanafuda

Here we have a deck of Hanafuda created by Kelsey Cretcher.  I really like the look of these cards.  The only thing I'd question from a design perspective is that both part of the 'Rain-man's' umbrella and the Crane's right wing appear on another card, which I don't think looks 'right'.  I do realise this is a by-product of the fact that each suit was developed in a panoramic fashion. Otherwise an excellent looking deck!

I really hope this project succeeds as we really need more alternative looking Hanafuda decks on the market!
