Ah, the adverb approach. Not a bad way to do things.
As to why I chose the number 108... I mostly did so because I am a fan of the Suikoden series of videogames, which each have 108 characters. Looking into it, it is a very important number in eastern numerology and mysticism. I just took a liking to it, really. Also, why it isn't easily broken down into some numbers (like 5), it can be broken into a number of different ways, and you get interesting results from doing so, so I find it to be fun.
Edit: Okay, a quick refresh of my knowledge of the number later, and some more info. 108 is interesting because it is 1^1 x 2^2 x 3^3, or 1 x 4 x 27. It is an important number of Buddhist belief, representing the number of temptations a person must face on the path to enlightenment, and has many cultural associations in Buddhist countries.

, but one thing to consider is whether this is going to be a intrricately painted work of art type of deck, or a deck that will be in wide use, produced for the common man, etc. In the latter case, you would have to think of suits with simple, clearly distinguished symbols that would still be 'legible' in a woodcut. Having, say suns and coins, not so good in that case.
