The Keishobou Tarot (RWS-Marseille hybrid) : Quick Flip-Through

This is a restored and recoloured version of the so-called Keishobou tarot, a Japanese deck from 1974 which combined RWS and Marseille elements. It is now published as "The Old Fellow Revived."

I mention in this flip-through that Anna offers four versions of the deck, including a recoloured version with white skies, but this version seems to be no longer available.

... and to @musingsbymascha for her helpful video and comments.

And of course a big thanks to Anna! I love this tarot and will do a proper review of it when I have spent some time with it.

My name’s Robert Farrah (aka Robert Farrar) and I’m a writer, musician and performer living in Berlin. I’ve also been a tarot reader since I was nineteen. Being an artist, I see life in terms of accessing and developing one’s natural creativity. And I see tarot as a playful, surrealistic ritual that increases one’s intuition and brain-power.

If you would like a 1-2-1 reading, contact me on Instagram or let me know in the comments.

The 'deck of the blondes' version of the Old Fellow is my favorite deck. It's faithful to the original version of the Keishobou but on preferable MPC card stock to the original drab and difficult card-boardy cereal box stock which I found unusable in my vintage copy. I also happen to love the bridge-size for everyday use and carry mine in a terrific purple velvet bag I found. I'm glad you shared this deck with viewers. I think more people need to know about it.

I loved seeing your Flip-Through of "The Old Fellow Revived", and enjoyed hearing your thoughts about its different versions, Robert. As you know, I really enjoy my Old Fellow's!
I actually found a nice bag where I keep my smaller-sized "Blonde" version, which has become my go to.😊
