【Letterpress Today】Letterpress Playing Cards x 54 Creators Limited Collector's Box

**Letterpress Playing Cards** Playing cards have a history dating back to the 14th century in Europe. Many well-preserved antique decks were printed using engraved or woodcut blocks, principles similar to letterpress. Building on this rich heritage of ancient paper products, we invited 54 creators from various disciplines—including designers, illustrators, fashion designers, and calligraphers from Taiwan and Asia—to contribute their unique artistry to this deck. Printed on a vintage Heidelberg letterpress, each card was produced one color, one plate at a time. The substantial, pH-neutral cotton paper, combined with the tactile impression of letterpress printing, beautifully showcases its captivating charm. This collection of masterful creations is produced in a limited edition, making it an absolute treasure worthy of your collection! ✨**Two-Color Letterpress Craftsmanship**: Experience the tactile dimension created by deep impression and the captivating interplay of layered colors. ✨**Premium Gmund Cotton Paper**: The entire deck is crafted from Gmund's exquisite, pH-neutral cotton paper from Germany, known for its beautiful hues and resistance to discoloration. ✨**54 Exceptional Creators**: Featuring renowned Taiwanese designers and illustrators, alongside esteemed letterpress brands from Japan and China. - (Creators listed by suit, Ace through King) **Spades Creators**: Tsung-Hsin Wang / Chun-Tzu Wang / Tzu-Chin Huang / Hui-Ying Hsueh / Yun Chan / Pu-Hui Chang / mumu Lin / Pei-Wen Li / Hsu-Chung Fang / LanLan / Yu Deng / Journey On Paper / Croter / Houth **Hearts Creators**: Da Li / Hsin-Ping Pan / Zzifan_z / Vita Yang / Chuan Bei Mu / Nio Ni / Hsiu-Chuan Tien / Yao-Ching Tsai / Mo Hsu, Wutong Imprint / Chao-Yu Shih, Little Oil Painting / Issa Chen, Thirty Selected Goods / Hsiao-Yin Ku / Yi-Yu Shen **Clubs Creators**: Yi-Chiao Kuo / Yi-Fen Lin / Hsiung Chiang / Not Just A Library / Chin-Ming Wang, Solid Art Studio / Ri Xing Foundry / Captain Cream, Meng-Chih Lin / Letterpress Research Institute x Akihiro Kiguchi / Chia-Hsing Ho / Hsuan-Hao Chang / Yi-Fen Liu / Daphne's Affectations / Shu-Li Chen **Diamonds Creators**: Chia-Wei Lai / Lin Printing Co. x Shunsuke Ikaishi / Ming-Hong Hsu / Yu-Shu Chan / Jin-Ming Chuang / Peng-Hsiang Kao, Zi Tian Letterpress Type Lab / Onion Design / Ting-An Ho / Kyoto Letterpress x Cheng Chang / Little Fufu Print x Yi-Jia Lin / Hsing-Yu Shih / Jo-Ling Wu / Po-Kai Chan **Joker Creators**: Fu-Tien Hung / Echo Yang - 👑 Winner of the Golden Pin Design Award 👑 Shortlisted for Gmund Award Best of 2018 Box Dimensions: L12.5 × W17 × H3 cm Contents: Collector's Introduction Card, Creator List, 54 Letterpress Playing Cards Printing: Letterpress Manufactured by: Fufu Print Inc.
