Mr. Kagami, one of Japan’s leading tarot and astrology researchers who continues to lead the industry, will talk about the role of tarot, which continues to change with the times. [Lecture: “From the mirror to the window: Development of tarot in the 21st century”] Tarot, which was born in the 15th century as a game card for aristocrats, has been used since the late 18th century. It took on an esoteric color, and in the late 20th century it became a tool for self-exploration. It has come to serve as a “mirror” that reflects oneself. And the 21st century. It seems that tarot has come to function as a “window” that takes people not only into their inner world but also into the transformation of society. I would like to think about what role tarot plays in modern times from various perspectives. ■Date and time 2024.11.22 (Friday) 16:00-17:30 ■Location: Tokyo Tarot Museum ■Participation fee [Venue participation] 8,000 yen (tax included) [Online participation] 4,000 yen (tax included) Includes bonus archive videos both at the venue and online *We will send you the viewing URL at a later date.
