The Hidden Hermit

This illustration by Yoshitaka Amano depicts the IX card of the Tarot, The Hermit. An androgynous figure wearing a red and white polka-dotted garment is hidden behind dark green curtains or branches. The figure appears to be in a contemplative or secluded position. The dominant colors are red, white, and green. The atmosphere is mysterious and introspective, characteristic of Amano's style which often blends fantasy and tradition.
