How this deck reads it

The scene of three swords piercing a large red heart compresses the size of the wound into a single heart. The gold hilts carved in mother-of-pearl rise above the heart and gleam like black scales, and this sheen serves not to conceal the pain but rather to make it distinct. The grey clouds and falling rain are rendered in the ink-black pigment of dancheong, emphasizing that sorrow is the mood filling the whole background.

Artwork

Three swords are thrust downward into a single red heart, and the sword hilts hang among the clouds. Rain falls in slanting lines.
