The After Sound Playing Cards Classic Boxset are limited to 1500 numbered sets. Includes two (2) decks: Colored Deck & Champagne Deck.

4 Collectable art prints included (Only 100 made)

Collectible storage box to match the playing cards. The box is luxurious and stylish. Both the interior and exterior of the box are embellished with white and dark patterns. The high-quality imported paper is filled with the words "After Sound" embossed with gold foil. It includes a certificate of authenticity, which provides a brief introduction to the Peking Opera.

Unprecedented structure and design. Seven individual pieces of cardboard are hand-assembled to form this masterpiece.

The playing card design incorporates traditional elements, mainly from the Peking Opera. Over 15 months of preparation have resulted in these exquisite and detailed hand-painted illustrations.

The back design of the playing card is an extension of the Opera stage found on the tuck box. A classic scene from the play <Farewell My Concubine> is being enacted here.

The corner index was carefully thought out by the designer and is presented in the form of a royal scroll, and the suits are embedded in a small tassel pendant under the scroll.

The two Jokers depict a writing brush holder and a weapons rack respectively, a metaphor that the cooperation between the military and the government administration is what makes a country stable. The four Aces are based on the cloud-shaped shoulder adornments of the opera performer's costumes, with the auspicious Chinese characters of "Fu Lu Shou Xi" (福禄寿喜) which represents Luck, Good Fortune, Longevity, and Happiness.

The details of the illustrations are extremely high. You could even hold a magnifying glass up to it to appreciate the fine details. Lovers of traditional culture would love every inch of it!
