How this deck reads it

The iridescent garment and the crown of golden stars visually reveal abundance and sensuous beauty. The varied luster of the mother-of-pearl pieces blends with the iridescent garment to express the radiance of productivity and creativity. The wheat sheaf on the left and the peonies around her symbolize the fruitfulness of nature and the power of nurturing, and the heart-shaped shield engraved with the Venus symbol at her feet emphasizes love and sensuous connection. The right hand holding a slender scepter indicates delicate control and creative will.

Artwork

A woman in a flower crown sits on a throne holding a lotus, with rice stalks and fully bloomed peonies lined up on either side. At her feet lies a heart-shaped shield engraved with the symbol of Venus.
