Tails of Mischief is a limited-edition, full-Borderless (Full Bleed), art poker playing card deck that uses the canvas to tell a story. Inspired by Japanese ukiyoe wood-block printing, historical culture, and Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, it tells the story of four mischiefs of mice that each approach nature from a different perspective.

Each of the four versions has its own custom tuck box and custom back. The faces depict the same scene, but from each mischief’s differing perspective, with different seasonal details, special court colouring, and completely unique tens and jokers.

The Whey of the Woods is rooted in acceptance – that there is a natural flow and it is our own nature to scuttle and fall with it. The spirits of the forest guide their scouts, the flow of the whey pulls their hunters’ bow-strings.

The wood mice dance with the winds of autumn. Buried deep within the forest Burrow, an underground labyrinthian village, pups and elders nestle away stockpiles of acorns – assuming the Jays don’t pinch them first.

But persistent field mice cut into their Bordereds at the behest of the arrogant house, and Ryuku mice travel and hunt unfettered.

The Burrow must rise, will you help protect the forest?
