Minor Arcana - The Suit of Pentacles
Telling The Tale of Okuninushi, from Ace to Tens, Page to King.
The suit's narrative focuses on Okuninushi's story, which is commonly known as the “Founding Father of Japan”. It tells about the evolution of a man, and the creation of material legacy that echoes through millenia.
In this deck, Yamamoto-sensei's portrays the traditional Pentacles suit from Western Tarot as Magatamas.
A magatama is a symbol of power and wealth in the Kofun period. It’s also one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan, along with the Kusanagi Sword and the Yata-no-Kagami (mirror). See the similarities with the deck?
A magatama is a stone that’s extracted from earth’s mineral. This deepens the connection of earth as the element for this suit.
I’d like to imagine that Yamamoto-sensei chose to use magatama to convey the symbols of material wealth that’s more relatable to the Japanese culture.
Note:
The italized text is the deck author’s note, translated to English from Japanese.
Yamamoto-sensei uses “勾玉” (magatama) to refer to the cards in this suit, but uses “Pentacles” as the English names. I use “Pentacles” in this guide for simplicity.
Ace of Pentacles - "Amenotokotachi"
Upright: Property, New Income, Achievements, Stability
Reversed: Loss, Waste, Deadlock, Abandonment
The last deity born among the separate heavenly deities, representing the permanence of heaven (Takamagahara). The earth has the power to represent reality. While it may be nothing on its own, with careful cultivation, grasslands become farms, and grown trees become buildings.
My note: "The promise of wealth, abundant & prosperity. That's what the magatama in this card is. While the castle in the background is that promised prosperity. It feels suitable to Ookunushi's journey."
This is Amenotokotachi, one of the first primordial deities, presenting a magatama against the backdrop of a castle.
Like the RWS’ Ace of Pentacles with its divine hand extending from clouds offering a golden coin, this suggests themes of divine providence and earthly manifestation.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
The permanent foundation upon which all material success can be built
Divine gifts that transform barren earth into abundant prosperity
The sacred connection between heaven's permanence and earth's potential
Patient cultivation leading to lasting achievements
The promise of wealth grounded in eternal principles
Recognition that seemingly empty beginnings contain infinite possibility
Just as untamed grasslands become productive farms through cultivation, the raw potential represented by the magatama can transform into the promised prosperity symbolized by the castle in the background.
Like the RWS Ace of Pentacles' garden setting suggesting cultivation and growth, it teaches that while divine gifts provide the foundation, it's through dedicated effort that we build lasting abundance.
The magatama serves as both blessing and promise, while the castle represents the achievable prosperity that awaits those who build upon eternal principles.
Two of Pentacles - "Onamuchi"
Upright: Skillful, Cheerful, Balance, Control, Right Person for the Job
Reversed: Risky Choices, Difficulties, Failure
When the Eighty Deities made Onamuchi to accompany them as a baggage carrier on their journey to propose to Yagamihime, he demonstrated his ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, walking while playing with magatama despite carrying heavy luggage.
My note: Young Onamuchi, who will be Okuninushi in the future, is skillfully juggling two magatamas while carrying heavy baggage in his houlder, with shark fins visible in the water behind.
The Eighty Deities, whom were Onamuchi’s brother, took him in a journey to propose to Yagamihime.
This suggests themes of balance amid chaos.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Maintaining grace under pressure
Skillful handling of multiple responsibilities
Finding joy in challenging circumstances
Adapting to changing situations while staying focused
The ability to remain playful despite burdens
Awareness of dangers without being paralyzed by them
Just as Onamuchi managed to play with two magatamas while carrying his brothers' burdens, this card speaks to moments when we must maintain our personal flow even while shouldering significant responsibilities.
The shark fins in the water, like the ships on stormy seas in the RWS version, represent external challenges that need not disrupt our inner balance.
This card ultimately speaks to the art of maintaining equilibrium amid competing demands.
The two magatamas represent the multiple aspects of life requiring our attention, while Onamuchi's playful handling of them suggests that burdens does not rob us of joy.
True mastery isn't about avoiding challenges but about finding harmony within them – just as Onamuchi transformed a potentially demeaning task into a demonstration of his adaptability.
Three of Pentacles - "The Blessing of Cattail Reed"
Upright: Demonstration of Talent, Promotion, Growth, Gaining Fame
Reversed: Holding Back, Incompleteness, Cutting Corners
During his journey, Oonamuchi met a rabbit whose skin had been stripped off.
When he asked the crying rabbit what happened, it explained that it had tricked the crocodiles to cross the sea, but was discovered mid-way and had its skin stripped.
The eighty deities who had gone ahead gave it false treatment advice, causing pain throughout its body. Oonamuchi treated the rabbit using cattail reeds.
The rabbit quickly recovered and told Oonamuchi, "The eighty deities won't marry Yagamihime. You will be the one to marry her."
My note: In his journey, young Onamuchi met the wounded White Rabbit of Inaba and tended the Rabbit’s wound with cattail reeds, demonstrating skilled healing work.
This scene focuses on a kind of craftsmanship: the art of healing.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Skilled problem-solving through compassionate action
Recognition of expertise and genuine assistance
The rewards of helping others with authentic solutions
Learning through direct experience rather than false guidance
The importance of practical knowledge over theoretical advice
Karma returning good fortune for skillful aid
Just as the rabbit suffered from the malicious "expertise" of the eighty deities, but found true healing through Onamuchi's practical knowledge, this card speaks to moments when genuine skill met with compassion to create positive outcomes.
After Onamuchi’s help, the Rabbit told him the prophecy about Yagamihime marrying him instead of the eighty deities as his reward for his assistance.
It teaches that mastery isn't just about technical skill, but about applying knowledge in ways that genuinely help others.
Four of Pentacles - "The Burning Rock"
Upright: Poverty, Slump, Losing One's Emotional Anchor
Reversed: Despair, Hardship, Disharmony
Yagamihime rejected the eighty deities' proposals and declared she would marry Oonamuchi. The eighty deities, unhappy that Yagamihime wouldn't be theirs, plotted to kill Oonamuchi.
They lied about hunting a red boar and lured him out, then rolled a burning hot boulder at him, crushing and killing him.
My note: The Eighty Deities (represented by this one figure in the card) seated possessively on a red boulder, clutching one large and three small magatama, with a castle visible in the background.
Just as they couldn't accept Yagamihime for choosing Onamuchi, the figure clutches the magatama with the same desperate need to control resources. The red boulder he sits upon becomes both his throne and his burden.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Holding tightly to resources out of fear of loss
Security achieved at the cost of isolation
Defensive posturing that prevents growth
Material stability that breeds spiritual stagnation
The burden of maintaining control
How fear of scarcity creates emotional distance
This card ultimately speaks to the paradox of material security.
The castle in the background represents the established order and security the figure seeks to maintain, while his tight grip on the magatama shows how this very desire for control can become a prison.
When we hold too tightly to what we have without considering other people, we may end up sitting alone on our metaphorical boulder, surrounded by wealth but isolated by our own insecurity.
Five of Pentacles - "Death and Rebirth"
Upright: Attachment, Possessiveness, Maintaining Status Quo
Reversed: Self-interest, Ambition, Greed
To resurrect the deceased Onamuchi, the Deities of the Red Shell and Clam appeared and performed a resurrection ritual. Onamuchi was revived as a more mature person.
Angered by his resurrection, the Eighty Deities split a tree in two and trapped Onamuchi between the halves, killing him again.
When Onamuchi was resurrected again, he had fully matured into an adult. To avoid being killed repeatedly, Onamuchi departed for Ne-no-Kuni to seek Susanoo's protection.
My note: Onamuchi's lifeless body is being restored by the two deities as five magatama hover above the scene.
Just as he finally seek refuge with Susanoo after dying twice, this card speaks to how we often endure hardship far longer than necessary before reaching out.
Like the figures in the RWS version walking past a lit church in a snowy night, the message is about the unnecessary suffering we endure when help is actually available.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Pride or fear preventing us from asking for needed help
Learning to seek assistance before reaching absolute devastation
The harsh consequences of waiting too long to get support
Transformation through accepting our vulnerability
Divine intervention arriving after we acknowledge our need
The wisdom of seeking refuge before situations become dire
The five magatamas floating above represent both material hardship and spiritual opportunity, while the two deities embody the help that's always available if we're willing to accept it.
While pride or fear might keep us struggling alone, true strength lies in acknowledging when we need assistance. Just as Onamuchi's decision to seek Susanoo's protection ultimately led to his transformation into a great leader.
Six of Pentacles - "Cultivating the Land"
Upright: Salvation, Sharing, Generosity, Kindness
Reversed: Hypocrisy, Coercion, Self-preservation, Self-centeredness
Sukunahikona helped Okuninushi build the land.
Though small in stature and lacking physical strength, he possessed great wisdom which he shared abundantly with Okuninushi.
Since Sukunahikona is said to have crossed the sea to reach Okuninushi, this could represent the integration of foreign culture.
*Note: In Japanese mythology chronology, the Six of Pentacles and Seven of Pentacles cards actually come after the Ten of Pentacles story where Onamuchi marries Suserihime and receives the name "Okuninushi" from Susanoo.
My note: Sukunahikona, a petite deity, holding balanced scales and extending a sword downward toward Okuninushi's open hands.
Just as the merchant in the RWS deck dispenses coins, Sukunahikona shares the "currency" of wisdom.
(Size doesn’t matter!)
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Generosity manifested through knowledge rather than material gifts
Wisdom freely given without expectation of return
The balance between teacher and student
How true value transcends physical size or appearance
Charitable sharing of intellectual resources
The power of mentorship and guidance
True generosity transcends material generosity. Sharing knowledge and wisdom can be an even more profound form of giving.
Sukunahikona's petite stature contrasted with their vast wisdom teaches that genuine value isn't measured by physical presence but by what one has to offer.
The sword pointing to Ookuninushi's open hands suggests that the student's receptivity is as important as the teacher's generosity.
Sharing wisdom can shape entire civilizations, through the transmission of knowledge that shape culture.
Seven of Pentacles - "Sukunahikona's Departure"
Upright: Taking a Break, Assessing Results, Reconsidering Methods
Reversed: Dissatisfaction with Results, Unexpected Outcomes
When cultivating the land, Sukunahikona announced "I am no longer needed" and departed for Tokoyo no Kuni across the sea.
As Okuninushi struggled with continuing the land cultivation, he suddenly heard a voice saying, "Don't doubt your own thoughts, follow through with them. What you should doubt is not your ideals, but your wavering will."
This voice was Okuninushi's inner voice.
This land is not being cultivated for conflict, but for happiness.
My note: Okuninushi is in a moment of contemplation after Sukunahikona's departure.
Just as the farmer in the RWS deck contemplates their growing crops, Okuninushi must evaluate not just the progress of land cultivation, but his own capacity to continue.
The voice he hears marks the distinction between genuine obstacles and self-imposed limitations.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
The crucial moment of self-reflection during a project
Learning to trust one's inner voice amid uncertainty
The battle between self-doubt and authentic wisdom
Pausing to evaluate not just progress, but purpose
Finding strength in moments of apparent abandonment
Distinguishing between legitimate concerns and limiting beliefs
This card is about the psychological dimension of long-term projects.
It teaches that moments of doubt can become opportunities for deeper self-knowledge - particularly when we learn to distinguish between our authentic wisdom and our fears.
The card suggests that true cultivation involves growing our trust in our capabilities, while letting time tells of the result.
Eight of Pentacles - "Susanoo's Trials"
Upright: Training, Practice, Steady Effort, Recognition from Others
Reversed: Cutting Corners, Fatigue, Holding Back Abilities
Seeking help, Onamuchi visited Susanoo's palace in Ne-no-Kuni. There, he fell in love at first sight with Susanoo's daughter, Suserihime. When Onamuchi asked to marry Suserihime, Susanoo subjected him to trials that are borderline harassments.
He made him sleep in rooms full of wasps and vipers, set fire to fields he walked through, and asked him to remove head lice, but what was actually there were centipedes.
With Suserihime's help, Onamuchi overcame these trials.
My note: Okuninushi is surrounded by wasps and vipers in a confined room, enduring Susanoo’s trials.
While the RWS Eight of Pentacles shows an artisan peacefully crafting coins at their workbench, this version portrays mastery through ordeal rather than routine practice.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Dedication tested through extreme circumstances
Mastery achieved through enduring trials
The persistence needed to prove oneself worthy
Learning through intense challenge rather than gentle practice
Love as motivation for extraordinary endurance
Growth through seemingly unfair or harsh tests
Just as the artisan in the RWS deck repeatedly perfects their craft, Okuninushi must repeatedly demonstrate his worth through increasingly difficult challenges.
When the goal is worthy enough, like Okuninushi's love for Suserihime (I’d see this more as a desire, though, like the 2 of Cups card), we can find the strength to endure trials that might otherwise seem unbearable.
While some skills are developed through patient practice, others require us to prove our worth through extraordinary endurance.
Just as completing a significant project often demands both technical skill and personal fortitude, this card reminds us that true mastery sometimes means persisting through seemingly impossible challenges.
Nine of Pentacles - "Suserihime's Salvation"
Upright: Achievement, Independence, Elegant Living
Reversed: Waste, Isolation, Futility
Suserihime provided various forms of help to Onamuchi who was facing trials from Susanoo, who wanted to drive him away.
She protected him from wasps and vipers with a "hire" (scarf), and for the task of removing lices, she gave him mulberry fruit and a red clay magatama, making it appear as though he was crushing centipedes.
Susanoo was finally impressed. Onamuchi handling the tasks was so skillful that Susanoo fell into a comfortable sleep.
My note: Suserihime is standing in an elegant dark green and yellow attire, exuding noble confidence. She embodies an independent woman who know what she wants and is blessed by abundance as daughter of Susano, one of the Three Celestial Deities.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Independence paired with strategic wisdom
Abundance used to help others while maintaining dignity
Power wielded with elegance and discretion
The confidence that comes from knowing one's worth
Resources used cleverly to achieve desired outcomes
Grace under pressure that masks clever maneuvering
In 8 of Pentacles, we see how Suserihime uses her resources to cleverly aid Okuninushi while maintaining her dignity as a royal deity.
Real nobility lies not just in having resources, but in knowing how to use them strategically while maintaining an air of effortless grace.
This is a powerful metaphor for feminine power that combines material abundance with clever strategy, showing that true independence includes the ability to aid others while maintaining one's own sovereignty and dignity.
Ten of Pentacles - "Okuninushi"
Upright: Prosperity, Better Relationships, Permanence
Reversed: Financial Troubles, Anxiety About the Future
After tying the sleeping Susanoo's hair to the pillars, Okuninushi took the "Living Greatsword," "Living Bow and Arrows," and "Heaven's Koto," then fled carrying Suserihime.
Though Susanoo was angry, he was simultaneously impressed by Onamuchi's boldness and acknowledged him, giving him the name "Okuninushi."
Okuninushi headed to Izumo with Suserihime and began cultivating the land to pacify it.
My note: Okuninushi is leaving Ne no Kuni, carrying Suserihime away as she wave goodbye to a distant Susanoo. The White Rabbit of Inaba follows loyally behind.
We see here the beginning of a new dynasty.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
The bold actions required to establish legacy
Transitions between old and new family structures
Carrying forward lessons and allies from past trials
The price and promise of founding a lasting legacy
While the RWS version shows the fruits of generational success, this version captures the crucial moment when such a legacy is first set in motion.
The White Rabbit's presence reminds us how past kindnesses contribute to future success, while Suserihime's farewell wave represents the necessary breaks from old structures to build new ones.
When a new dynasty is being established, sometimes there are prices to be paid. Like how Okuninushi took Susanoo’s treasures.
What will eventually become a stable tradition often begins with bold (yet morally questionable) actions and the courage to create something new.
Page of Pentacles - "Kotoshironushi"
Upright: Inheritance, Idealism, Concentration, Training
Reversed: Lack of Patience, Anxiety, Showing Off, Naivety
Kotoshironushi, entrusted by Okuninushi with the final judgment on surrendering the land, agreed to yield to Takemikazuchi who came to negotiate, but his younger brother Takeminakata refused and challenged him to battle.
After Takeminakata's defeat, the surrender was decided.
As a condition of surrender, Kotoshironushi promised that if he were made representative of the Earthly Deities, all hundred and eighty brothers would not oppose the Heavenly Deities, and they yielded Izumo to them.
My note: "Kotoshironushi, is one of Ookuninushi's children and Takeminakata's brother. Being young and idealist, he seemed to be a suitable choice as Page of Pentacles. While his predecessors chose to fight over the land, he opted to be practical and opted to give in to the demand of the deities of Amagahara. He believed in a pacifist way and patience. As shown w/ his fishing rod and Koi fish on his robe. Kotoshironushi is also known as Ebisu, the deity of wealth."
Kotoshironushi, one of Okuninushi’s children, is standing with his fishing rod while wearing a robe decorated with koi fish patterns.
This is a young deity who combines idealism with practical wisdom.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Youthful wisdom that chooses peace over pride
Practical idealism that sees value in compromise
Patient study of opportunities, like a skilled fisher
The maturity to choose long-term gain over short-term glory
Learning to build wealth through patience rather than conflict
Understanding when to yield in order to prosper
Kotoshironushi shows how young energy can manifest as diplomatic wisdom rather than just eager learning.
The fishing rod and koi symbolism suggest that true prosperity comes to those who know how to wait and observe, rather than those who grasp aggressively.
(Koi is a highly prized and valued fish. The price of one head can reach one million US dollar, depending the size of the fish).
While the RWS version emphasizes studious contemplation, this version shows how a youth can manifest as practical peacemaking.
True prosperity sometimes requires knowing when to yield rather than fight. Sometimes the most practical path to prosperity requires setting aside pride and choosing peaceful cooperation over conflict.
Kotoshironushi is also known as Ebisu, a deity of wealth.
Knight of Pentacles - "Takeminakata"
Upright: Honest Relationships, Simplicity, Profit, Investment, Stubbornness
Reversed: Delay, Loss, Conflicting Interests, Self-righteousness, Lack of Independence
Though Takeminakata was unwilling to surrender Izumo to the Heavenly Deities and disagreed with his brother Kotoshironushi's decision to yield, he attempted to overpower Takemikazuchi by force.
However, Takemikazuchi's power was overwhelming, and after having both hands frozen, Takeminakata realized he couldn't win and fled to Suwa. Pursued by Takemikazuchi, he promised not to leave Suwa and agreed to surrender the land.
My note: Takeminakata, one of Okuninushi’s children, is seated on a cloud in a watchful guardian pose with a pure-hearted optimism.
He is an interesting choice for Knight of Pentacles. To me, he looks more suitable as Knight of Wands, due to his hot-bloodedness.
But let's not forget of his loyalty & dedication to his family & land his father has been cultivating for many years. To just give it away to be managed by someone else wouldn’t feel right.
Out of that loyalty & steadfastness, he challenged Futsunushi & Takemikazuchi to a duel. Even though they bested him at the end, Takeminakata honoured the result and stood guard as the guardian of Suwa.
His "thou shalt not pass" energy, tempered by acceptance of reality, suggests dedication in the form of loyalty combined with passion and wisdom.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Loyalty that persists even after defeat
Standing one's ground from principle rather than stubbornness
Pure-hearted dedication to protecting what matters
Finding honor in maintaining boundaries
The dignity of accepting outcomes while maintaining vigilance
Transforming hot-blooded impulse into steady guardianship
While the RWS version emphasizes methodical progress, this version shows how passionate energy can be channeled into loyal dedication.
His position on the cloud (which only the pure-hearted can ride, just like the cloud Kintoun) suggests that his steadfastness comes from genuine conviction rather than mere stubborness.
True dedication isn't just about winning, but about maintaining one's post with dignity even after defeat, as he was assigned to be an honorable guardian.
Queen of Pentacles - "Suserihime's Melancholy"
Upright: Management Ability, Wealth, Planning, Social Contribution, Service, Domestic
Reversed: Pessimistic, Dishonest, Suspicious, Lack of Independence
Okuninushi, who married Suserihime after overcoming the trials, was unfaithful. Okuninushi was already married to Yagamihime when he made Suserihime his primary wife.
Even so, Okuninushi went to visit many of his wives, including Nunakawahime.
When Suserihime finally became angry, Okuninushi tried to flee, but she retained him at Izumo by singing a song.
My note: There are 2 versions of Queen of Pentacles: Suseri-hime and Yagamihime. Both are Okunimushi's wives.
One version is Suserihime gazing through an opening, seen alone without allies or companions.
While both she and Yagamihime share the Queen of Pentacles' energy, their contrasting approaches to similar challenges reveal different aspects of sovereignty.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Power that isolates even as it elevates
The burden of maintaining official position
Strength expressed through endurance rather than action
How status can limit one's options for response
The price of choosing to remain rather than retreat
Finding power in waiting and witnessing
While Suserihime’s position as the primary wife grants her official status and power, it also constraints her options. Unlike Yagamihime, she cannot simply leave.
Her solitary vigil becomes not just melancholy, but a different kind of strength.
Sometimes sovereignty means holding one's ground through resourcefulness, as shown by how she retain Okuninushi by singing him a song.
The contrast between the two queens creates a powerful meditation on different forms of feminine power: one expressed through practical action and trusted allies, the other through solitary endurance and transformation of confinement into strength.
Together, they suggest that there's no single "right" way to exercise queenly wisdom.
Both staying and departing can be acts of sovereignty, depending on one's position and purpose.
Queen of Pentacles - "Yagamihime's Melancholy"
Upright: Instability, Deception, Enchantment, Escapism, Pressing Choice
Reversed: Turn for the Better, Intuition, Minor Mistakes, Breaking Free from the Past
Although Yagamihime married Onamuchi as predicted by the White Rabbit of Inaba, when Onamuchi fled to Ne-no-Kuni to escape the Eighty Deities and made Suserihime his primary wife, Yagamihime feared Suserihime's jealousy.
She placed their child between tree branches and returned to her family home.
My note: Both Queen of Pentacles’ cards have titles “melancholy”.
This refers to both deities’ melancholy of being Okunushi's wives, especially his tendency to woo other women.
Yagamihime, while worried of Suserihime's jealousy, seemed to be more in control of her path.
She decided to go back home instead of staying.
The White Rabbit of Inaba is also there, portraying that Yagamihime has a familiar ally she could communicate with.
Their parallel stories show how the same queenly energy can manifest in opposing yet equally valid choices.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Freedom found in relinquishing official status
The strength to choose practical wellbeing over position
Finding sovereignty in movement rather than maintenance
The wisdom of accepting a "lesser" position to gain greater autonomy
How allies can give us courage to make difficult choices
Power expressed through the ability to leave
This card ultimately speaks to how true prosperity sometimes means choosing psychological freedom over status.
Unlike Suserihime who must maintain her role as primary wife, Yagamihime's "lesser" status paradoxically grants her greater freedom to act.
Sometimes the most prosperous choice is to walk away, and that having trusted allies can help us recognize when that time has come.
King of Pentacles - "The Deity of Land Transfer"
Upright: Peace, Legacy, Prosperity, Gaining Wealth and Fame
Reversed: Waste, Wrong Values, Greed, Gluttony, Corruption
Through patient work, Okuninushi successfully completed nation-building. Known as the most unfaithful god in Japanese mythology, marrying many wives and having over 180 children, he is also considered the patron deity of matchmaking.
Though he repeatedly thwarted Amaterasu's messengers who came to take the land, after Takemikazuchi's visit and the submission of his sons Kotoshironushi and Takeminakata, Okuninushi decided to surrender the land.
As a condition, he promised not to oppose the heavenly deities if they built him a shrine the same size as Izumo where he could live, and he came to dwell there.
My note: Okuninushi is shown as the established ruler of Izumo, focusing on his role as a focused and reliable nation-builder even with his romantic pursuits.
This is a leader who manifests material prosperity for his domain.
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests:
Material success achieved through patient development
Leadership that prioritizes collective prosperity
The ability to separate personal proclivities from professional duties
Knowing when to compromise for the greater good
Building lasting foundations despite personal imperfections
Understanding that true wealth lies in sustainable systems
Effective leadership in the material realm isn't about personal perfection, but about consistent dedication to building and maintaining prosperity for all.
(Fun fact: Okuninushi is also associated with good relationships and marriage).
