How this deck reads it

The scroll hanging from the trumpet's end is a form in which sound becomes letter and descends from the sky. The swirling golden clouds are rendered in thin, layered cuts of mother-of-pearl, so that each time the light turns with the angle, the moment of awakening seems to repeat itself many times over. The figures rising from below, pushing off the coffin, are simplified in body with only white hems remaining, so that the act of rising itself reads before any individual face. Blue-green mountains and water of dancheong are placed in the background, showing that awakening occurs not only in the sky but also at the boundary of earth and water.

Artwork

An angel with wings spread above the clouds blows a trumpet, and below, people rise from open coffins with their arms raised. Nacre-bright mountains rise behind.
