Apropos of Harmony Day and today's theme for the equinox reading, I want to share a blog post from Benebell Wen.
It's a roll-call of Asian voices in tarot today.
https://benebellwen.com/2021/03/21/asian-tarot-readers/
It's an impressive and extensive list. Some I already knew, but many were new to me.
It's a great post. Have a look when you can.

Re: Asian Voices in Tarot
I have two decks by Asian makers, the Shadowscapes and the Dreaming Way. I'd like to have more. Also Benebell Wen's 'Holistic Tarot' was the first tarot book I owned 
I really want Susan T. Chang's books. Thank you for sharing that post!

Re: Asian Voices in Tarot
I just saw this thread now. Thank you so much for posting it! There are some names there I recognize and many that I don't. Time to go check out links and show support.
Re: Asian Voices in Tarot
I added in the comments the Ukiyoe Tarot, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Roots of Asia Tarot.
All my Asian decks are up right now on my tarot calendar! Baharata, Divine, Four Heavenly Kings, Star Spinner, Spirit Seeker, Roots of Asia, Dreaming Way, and Ukiyoe are the Asian tarots I have, and this group's turn is right now in Aries. Together with other decks from other cultures (Lebanese and World Spirit)
I think it's wonderful that such a strong Asian input is palpable in the tarot world. Many Asians are going through troubled times right now, in their countries but also in the West because of ignorant prejudice.

Re: Asian Voices in Tarot
I didn't see this one included: The Silhouettes Tarot by Masa Kuzuki. Well worth checking out. Oh...I see he's been creating others as well since I last looked several years ago.

Oh yes of course, how could I forget it? I love this deck, simply love it so much. It gives the most precise readings for emotional states, and I use it for my inner child work. It's amazing how the Silhouettes deck conveys the tough together with the gentle - and it's all accessible.
I have the 2nd edition: just look at this.
I don't read much for myself so I remember remarkable readings. The Silhouettes gave me in three cards the whole story of a friendship that had gone wrong. I'll never forget that, the reading was like the writing on the tombstone of that friendship. And all wrapped up in these lovely pictures.
I can't recommend this deck enough. Silhouettes and Dreaming Way are both in my Top Five list, both created by Asian artists, both decks of beautiful art and truthfulness.
