Hagi

Description

"Hagi," translating to "bush clover," was created with watercolor and acryla gouache, and represents the month of July. It incorporates a pale pink poetry ribbon, bush clover, and a darling baby boar.

Hanafuda are playing cards of Japanese origin. The name "hanafuda" literally translates to flower cards.  Each suit is painted as a whole and then divided into four individual cards, creating the 48 card deck. The best part? The Hanafuda deck can be used to play a myriad of card games!

I started illustrating my own Hanafuda deck "Interlude" back in February 2017 with the help of my patrons on Patreon. On October 10th, 2017 I launched my very first Kickstarter campaign to bring the deck to life! The remaining two illustrations will be unveiled in the next few weeks.
