This body of art is a culmination of love for ghosts, folklore, and traditional Japanese artwork all blended together with the storytelling of tarot. Every card features a different unique yokai (or two), each chosen to match or reflect the meanings and stories of the cards. Some are playful critters, while others are somber spirits - there's a full array!
Each card was traditionally drawn in sumi ink on rice paper, then scanned and digitally colored for consistency, giving it a not-quite modern and not-quite traditional fresh look.
The deck will consist of the full 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana, broken into four suits of staves, cups, coins, and swords.
Printed on 350gsm art paper
Gilded edges
Matte linen finish to compliment the traditional look and feel of the illustrations
A small booklet that gives the name and a very brief description of the yokai
2-piece simple rigid lidded box
FSC Certified paper, meaning the paper was environmentally and ethically sourced.
Deck Upgrade: Gold Foil design on box
Deck Upgrade: 330 German Core Paper with linen finish
Somehow this one snuck by me - now I’m hunting it down on the secondary market or awaiting the second printing. From what I can tell the next chance they will be available will be Feb 2023 - dang it
There is a kickstarter going on for pins related to the deck…

Hi! Does anyone have or is willing to sell a yokai yochi tarot deck by buboplague.
Saw it, fell in love with it a year ago but missed the drop . If anyone is willing to sell it to me on ebay, i would be so appreciative.
I bought mine from a guy in a tarot deck facebook group. There are a ton of these groups. Posting there might be a good idea too! And the tarot decks subreddit.
Showing me stuff that I didn't know of but now want badly...
