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