What would Nobunaga tell you about the decision you keep postponing?
The Bushido Oracle puts that question within reach. Fifty cards carry the great names of Japan's Warring States period — Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Date Masamune and their peers — each drawn as a striking bishonen-style portrait above his own words, rendered in Japanese. These were men whose choices were made with everything at stake; the deck channels that clarity into readings about your own crossroads.

The artwork
The Warring States, painted as fifty commanding portraits.
Date Masamune under his crescent helm, Takeda Shingen in war-fan crimson, Oda Nobunaga with conquest in his gaze — the deck renders each warlord as a handsome, characterful figure above his name and words in Japanese lettering. The traditional patterning behind each portrait keeps the whole deck feeling like a treasury of the period.
— Why warlords make good counselors —
Four centuries ago, these men made decisions with their lives on the table.
"Read with their words in mind, and read deeper."
The Bushido Oracle was built on the words the Sengoku warlords left behind — their resolve, their patience, their gambles. Luna Factory shaped fifty of those spirits into cards so that a modern reader facing a modern crossroads can borrow a general's clarity. The matte finish and impressive hard box give the deck the gravity its subject deserves.
