[LIMITED EDITION] Turning Japanese Deck - 60 card deck - (Only 250 available)

[CLCPC Studio 52]

Built upon legend and inspired by ancient tradition, this Limited Edition deck is a 60 card deck of premium playing cards featuring illustrations by world famous artist Marine Loup.  Each deck contains 52 playing cards, 2 joker cards (1 signed), 1 double backer card, 1 unique gaff card plus 5 bonus illustration cards all featuring Marine Loups signature.  Made in collaboration with CLCPC Studio 52 this deck was inspired by an ancient Japanese legend of the koi fish - The legend goes that through determination and perseverance, a single koi fish was able to swim upstream to reach the top of a waterfall against all odds. It overcame demons that laughed at and mocked its efforts and who had also heightened the waterfall out of malice. According to this legend, after reaching the top of the waterfall, the gods who had witnessed the koi's efforts turned the koi into a Golden Dragon, the image of power and strength. This deck draws its inspiration from this legend and from Marine Loup and her Turning Japanese illustrations, and represents the determination and perseverance demonstrated by the koi, battling against all odds to succeed. Koi fish are a feature in the deck and are smimming around the centre suit makings of each Ace card as well as a black Koi fish featured on the Joker cards to sybolise the perseverence and determination of the single Koi fish that was able to reach the top of the waterfall.

Funded in just over 24hrs there are still Stretch Goals to unlock for these decks to have them include numbered box seal stickers, emossed tuck box, card stock upgrades plus other bonus rewards and more being available for backers of this project.  Please come and help us on this campaign to having these decks produced for collectors and fans of Marine Loups Turning Japanese art collection.

Your Kickstarter page - I skimmed it pretty quickly, I admit, but I didn't see any mention of where the deck is being printed and by whom.  Just that it has "Masterclass" 310 gsm stock from Germany.

"Masterclass" doesn't really have any meaning when you don't know where the stock's from or who's doing the print work on it.  310 gsm stock isn't all that heavy, either - to my knowledge, it's almost the same weight as Bicycle standard, and a wee bit lighter than Bee Casino grade.
