We’ve designed these cards to reflect the excitement we find in encountering and old photograph or an object in a flea market or antique stall, one that feels familiar yet foreign and is thus infinitely evocative.

How to Use the Cards

You might…

• Turn to these cards to find a word that speaks most powerfully to your mood.

• Sort through and select a card to send to a friend as a memento of a particular feeling you associate with them.

• Play a game with your partner by taking it in turns to remember a time you may have felt or known the untranslatable word to be most true.
