Anino Lenormand

The archive review places Lynyrd-Jym Narciso's Anino honestly inside its moment: Lenormand's revival plus open-domain imagery made DIY decks easy, and not all are created equal, but Narciso's stands out from the compile-and-print crowd. Anino means shadow in Tagalog, and the deck's collage of nineteenth-century public-domain imagery is curated with a maker's eye rather than a downloader's, fifty-one cards giving the traditional system its modern extra-card generosity. Narciso's Lenormand output, the gothic Gravenchase also lives in this catalog, shows a designer treating the humble system as a genuine canvas, and the Anino is his archival register: old imagery honestly labeled as such, assembled with intent. It suits Lenormand readers who like antique material without reproduction prices, collectors of Narciso's indie line, Filipino readers noting the naming, and DIY-deck observers studying how it is done well. Those wanting unified original art have the hand-painted shelf; this deck's craft is the curation.
