"The Japanese word “sasuraibito” most closely translates to “wanderer.” It’s an old-fashioned literary term that is falling out of use, meant to describe a person ever-seeking, searching for a place of healing and refuge. This deck is designed to aid the curious wanderer, and accompany you on your adventures to come.”
– Creator Stasia Burrington

This deck has a lot of charm. As @FindYourSovereignty said, the cards are direct and honest. It's versatile, because it has plenty of warmth without ever seeming cutesy or unserious. My one picky issue with this deck is the Devil card. I find it uninspired to just have a man standing there. (And it also reminds me of a specific actor, so I think of him when I see it.  You know how once you see something, you can't unsee it? -- I'll put the actor's name under the cut in case you don't want that in your mind.)

Spoiler

To me he looks just like Tyler Hoechlin of Teen Wolf fame.  (I get that the creator was going for how we can be swayed by outward appearances.)

I find this deck to be a solid reader. The images evoke an intuitive feeling, an emotion that is relatable. It is raw. There is nudity. The cards are direct and honest. Could be used as a 'shadow' reading deck.

 

There is gold gilding on the edges. It is a challenge to riffle-shuffle.

 

There is a Tiny-Traveler edition that shuffles easily.
