vivdunstan: A picture of a cinema projector (films)

I picked up a deck of these a while back, while reading the novel for a book club, but not having seen the Studio Ghibli film yet, which the cards are based on. Now having seen the film I've dug them out again, and had another look through.

I really like them, but they'd only really work for folks who've seen the movie, and not just read the book. They capture a lot of the nice visuals and character of the animated film. Though some of my favourite images are missing.

Best of all there are different images on every single card, even the number ones. And running through the suits in the order in the deck they recap the story of the film, from start to end.

I collect playing cards, and am always keen to get another set with particular resonance for me. This is a very nice deck. And I'm very happy to have bought it. I got mine via Amazon UK, from a Japanese reseller.

The picture below shows some of my favourite card images in the deck, below the other cards spread out.
