IMPERIAL HOTEL PLAYING CARDS

Produced by art of play

For decades this landmark served as an architectural icon for the city, during which time it survived several devastating earthquakes until it was demolished in 1968. Fortunately, the main entrance and hotel lobby were preserved and reconstructed in 1968 at the Museum Meiji-mura, an open-air architectural museum and theme park near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan.

In celebration of the centennial anniversary of the Imperial Hotel, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has partnered with Art of Play to design a commemorative pack of playing cards based on Wright's original drawings. Meticulously Illustrated by Ethan Kowaleski in close collaboration with Brad Fulton and Dan & Dave Buck.

Christopher ★★★★★

The artwork on these is gorgeous, every face card has a different detail from the hotel's history. Shuffles smooth and the edges haven't frayed after a few weeks of weekly games.

Grace ★★★★★

The card stock feels substantial right out of the box, way nicer than the flimsy deck I had before. The hotel facade on the tuck box is beautifully printed too, so it looks great just sitting on my shelf.

Christopher ★★★★☆

The artwork is the real draw here — the vintage hotel design has a nice muted color palette that doesn't feel gimmicky. Only gripe is the tuck box arrived with a slightly dented corner, but the cards themselves shuffled fine right out of it.
