AUTHOR’S NOTE

FROM ME TO YOU...

Dear Tarot Deck Holder, Thank you so much for choosing “My Neighbor Tarotto” as your designated tarot deck. This set took over 100 hours to completely illustrate and produce, but I loved the process every step of the way; thus, I hope you enjoy using these cards as much as I enjoyed making them. Furthermore, I hope using (or just looking at) these cards inspires your creative side and motivates you to watch some Studio Ghibli movies yourself. Since I was a child, I’ve loved watching these movies, and I always marveled at the studio’s ability to create lush environments and intricate worlds. Hayao Miyazaki once said, “Reality is for people that lack imagination,” so go immerse yourself and have fun in the world crafted by Miyazaki and all the other animators at Studio Ghibli.
