A prestigious collection of 5 golden edge games celebrating Oriental aesthetics, historical relics, and cultural heritage.

Step into a miniature gallery of civilization where ancient relics come to life to tell their stories. Presented in an exceptional collector’s box, delicate and symmetrical gilding draws intricate brocade patterns and silhouettes of ancient architecture on the paper. On the cover, two anthropomorphized relics guard the box: a tripod basin in cloisonné shell form from the Qing dynasty and a covered wucai jar with fish and algae from the Ming dynasty.

Upon opening the box, five sets of golden-edged playing cards are revealed in a perfect alignment. Each set explores a fundamental pillar of culture: the State Ritual, the Religious Belief, Material Craftsmanship and Literati Spirit, to peak with theSpecial Edition that gathers these themes into a complete work.
