Raijin Playing Cards

Raijin Playing Cards

The Raijin playing cards by BOMBMAGIC recreate the Japanese classic stories of Fujin and Raijin, with a 21st century look. Fujin is the Japanese god of the wind, often depicted holding a large bag of wind on his shoulders - Raijin is the god of lightning, thunder and storms.

The design of Raijin playing cards is the result of the collaboration with the UK illustrator, Fionn Jordan. Fionn Jordan is an Art Traveler who has lived in both Japan and Taiwan for several years, so he is already deep into East Asian culture. Fionn is good at creating comics, hence BOMBMAGIC’s inviting him to join this playing card project. It must be hard to imagine that this kind of Eastern style is created by a Westerner! To convey to you the care that has gone into this Raijin deck, this project was a year in the making, and has been revised over ten times. In the last period of this project, Fionn needed to finish his parts in the United Kingdom due to logistical issues. This project is the first time for BOMBMAGIC to do tripartite cross-border cooperation with Taiwan, Japan, and Great Britain, and we hope that you are thrilled with the results!

The Raijin playing cards by BOMBMAGIC have 54 poker size cards made by the Taiwan Playing Card Company in Taiwan on paper stock and includes 2 Jokers.
