– This was launched on Kickstarter on 12 Aug 2019. Within 30 days, 119 backers had contributed $3,174 to bring this project to life. This amount may be small, but read on to find out why the creators intended it to be so.
🌟 From the Kickstarter page, in Francis Garcia’s own words:
“Sakura Playing Cards is one of the first Fully Custom Winter Themed Cherry Blossom Deck of Cards . This deck is unlike any other deck of cards. I myself love the Japanese culture and dedicated this deck to the Cherry Blossom trees in Japan.
🌟 Personally, as a magician & cardist I passionately believe that, quality is just as important as the design of a deck. Sakura Playing Cards will be printed with the United States Playing Card Company ( USPCC ) on the finest quality card stock they have to offer. The Bee Casino Stock and Air Cushion Finish will provide the smoothest experience when using these cards.
🌟 In addition, it was always my dream to create my own fully designed deck of playing cards and we did just that for the first deck! With your help we successfully funded the first edition of Sakura Playing Cards (Spring Edition) in 2018. That being said, you will not only be aiding in the success of my dream, but will also get some rewards, Sakura Playing Cards. And remember, anything helps, even a dollar. I am eternally grateful for everyone helping my dream become a reality. Thanks for supporting Sakura Playing Cards.
Best,
Francis Garcia

🌟 Welcome to Japan during this chilly time of the year … With Mt. Fuji far along the horizon, obscured by the snowy weather, a red shrine sits centered at the distance. The red shrine has a great significance to Japanese culture during the winter season. With time fleeting fast, Sakura is soon to bloom, but remains idle during this time as it awaits its flourish during the spring.
🌟 DESIGN
Similar to the first edition of Sakura, the back design is specifically cherry blossom themed and displays an intricate design, that consists of tree branch silhouettes that reach out from the edge of the cards, being parallel from each other. This specific use of tree branches are one of a kind.
🌟 COLOR
In our first edition of Sakura Playing Cards, we utilized different shades of pink just like the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan during the Spring. Now, with our winter theme edition, Sakura is to exhibit a chilly twist. Sakura Playing Cards Winter Edition utilizes winter themed colors, such as blue, white, and shades of gray.
🌟 DECK BOX
The deck box is quite similar to the first edition, but has a chilly twist. The box contains the same color as the back design, blue, white, and shades of gray. In the front of the box is a new design. Alike the first edition, Mt. Fuji is still in the background, but the cherry blossom trees are all covered in snow. The red shrine is a symbolic monument in Japanese culture, which represents the entrance to a sacred place.
The History: Sakura means Cherry Blossom in Japanese, which is a beautiful tree that resides in the land of Japan. BUT there is a deeper meaning to Sakura that YOU may not know about.
Sakura is a short-lived season in the spring. To me, it symbolizes living life to the best of your ability. To the samurai it meant mortality, because they did not know if they were going to die in battle the next day. Sakura is a lifestyle as well as my brand. Welcome to Sakura.
