Tezuka Tarot

Lo Scarabeo and Tezuka Productions present a unique tarot made from the most iconic stories by Osamu Tezuka, the God of Manga.

Osamu Tezuka’s legendary titles like Astro Boy, Black Jack, Phoenix, and Dororo find a new and original shape as the arcana of this incredible deck, presented in a luxurious kit edition complemented by an extensive booklet to commemorate the historic liaison between tarot and the greatest manga artist. Each card also features an excerpt from one of Tezuka’s works. Ms. Imaizumi, tarot lover and member of Tezuka Productions, wrote the companion guide.

Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) was born in Osaka Prefecture and reached the apex of the entertainment world by crafting stories that shaped the style of modern Japanese manga. His career began after World War II when, despite going through medical school, he became more involved with the Japanese art scene. Works like Kimba the White Lion, Astro Boy, Phoenix, and Black Jack earned him great success and notoriety. One of the most prestigious awards in the world of comic books is named after him.
