"THE HERMIT IX- Tarot Card, Major Arcana”

I created this cut paper art and digitally colored it. This is a tarot card, major arcana called "The Hermit IX ." I wanted to make a cut-paper art tarot cards series for a long time. Finally, I created the first one. I selected the Hermit as my first cut paper art of tarot cards because I think it's an interesting card.

Usually, the Hermit is an old man but I used a lady who wears a Japanese traditional dress called "kimono" in my artwork. I use a polka dot kimono for my artwork because it's my motif. She is wearing kimono and a coat called "haori" in Japanese. She is holding a lantern called "chouchin" in Japanese. The original Hermit card has a western-looking lantern and a six-pointed star is shining inside of it. My lantern-chouchin has a star mark with a star inside as well. The star is guiding her way.

The willow tree is one of my favorite trees because it's kind of a symbol of Japanese old artwork. I created a colorful willow tree in this artwork. First of all, I created the first version, and then I added the different color versions below. I like the pink and bluish moon as well. I hope I can make other tarot cards little by little.

"隠者 九・タロットカード、大アルカナ”

切り絵を作成し、デジタルで色を入れました。これはタロットカード、大アルカナの“9番隠者のカード”です。以前からタロットカードの切り絵を作成したいと思っていて、やっと一枚目を作りました。一番最初の切り絵タロットカードは、とても興味深いカードである隠者のカードにしました。

普通隠者のカードといえば老人の絵柄ですが、わたしの隠者のカードは着物を着た女性です。いつも着物柄のモチーフにしている水玉模様の着物を着せました。着物の上に羽織を羽織っています。通常の隠者は六角形の星が入ったランタンを持っていますが、この絵の女性は星のマークのついた和風の提灯を持っています。この提灯の中にも星が入っていて、彼女の行き先を照らしています。

昔から日本画でよく用いられる柳の木は和のイメージがあるので、好きな木のひとつです。柳の木はカラフルにしました。他にも違うカラーバリエーションを作りました。ピンクとブルームーンのバージョンもすきです。少しずつ別のタロットカードも作っていきたいと考えています。

Thank you so much!

Looks great! I don't know anything about tarot cards... One of my Japanese friends loves them (well, she loves all fortune telling things) and has tried to explain to me, but I don't really understand. They usually have a nice look though. Anyway, your design is great!

Thank you for your nice comment! I like tarot cards’ artwork. Actually, I love all kinds of cards’ artwork. Yes, you’re right. There are many different types of Japanese (Chinese) fortune telling things in Japan. Many people like to check their fortune almost all the time. Some TV shows tell your fortune in the morning don’t they? It is fun to pick fortune cards at shrines too!
