From Video Game Concept Art to Tarot of the Divine

Yoshi Yoshitani is a California based concept artist and illustrator whose client list includes Disney, DC Comics, Valiant, Image Comics, DreamWorks and Netflix, alongside video game work that included concept art for Bandai Namco's Ni No Kuni II. She has received an Eisner Award nomination, one of the comics industry's most recognized honors, for her illustration work. Her tarot deck, Tarot of the Divine, published by Clarkson Potter, a Random House imprint, reimagines the seventy eight cards of the Major and Minor Arcana through mythology and folklore drawn from cultures including China, Japan, Peru, Norway, Persia, England, Greece, Denmark and Maori tradition from New Zealand, with an accompanying guidebook explaining how each cultural story maps onto the card's traditional tarot meaning. That approach distinguishes the deck from the largely European occult and Renaissance imagery used in the Rider Waite Smith tradition and its many direct successors, instead building each card from a specific documented myth or folktale rather than a generalized symbolic archetype. Yoshitani's background in mainstream commercial illustration and video game concept art, rather than in tarot, astrology or New Age publishing specifically, places her among a newer generation of tarot deck creators who came to the format from broader commercial art careers rather than from spiritual teaching or divination practice.
