Vaivorykšte Playing Cards

“I fell in love with historic Lithuanian cards… I decided to revive these beautiful cards—to track down the few remaining copies and reprint them.”

— Danielius Korsakas, Creator

A Vivid Piece of History

Step back into the interwar period with a meticulously restored Lithuanian deck originally created for a government competition in 1933. Revived from the archives of the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art, Vaivorykštė features distinct rim colors for each suit—creating a vivid “rainbow” effect when spread or fanned.

Masterful Historic Artistry

Hand-drawn by renowned Lithuanian-Russian artist Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, the deck is filled with intricate Lithuanian Folk Art ornamentation:

• Aces — T (Tūzas), with elaborate decorative motifs
• Kings — K (Karalius), with crowns stylized by suit symbols
• Queens — M (Mergelė), with traditional imagery and floral details
• Jacks — B (Berniukas), featuring farming scythes and the kanklės instrument
