Yobi to Amari
Yobi and Amari: Story of Spares
A splendid stage of playing cards is small enough to fit in the palm of one’s hand. The performers, or 54 cards, entertain guests night after night on the table. Meanwhile, Yobi and Amari—blank spare cards—are constantly frustrated because they haven’t yet once been able to perform on stage but instead must keep training backstage in case they need to stand in. Then, one day, an accident happens and Jack the Diamond is destroyed by fire. (Source: MH Artworks)
