Traditional Japanese Karuta, Hyakunin Isshu & Hanafuda Card Games

Since 1800, this venerable Kyoto maker has been crafting karuta, Hyakunin Isshu poetry cards, and hanafuda flower cards using techniques passed down for more than two centuries. This brand-new deck carries that heritage straight to your table.

Traditional Japanese card games blend art, literature, and play. Hyakunin Isshu pairs classic waka poems with matching gameplay, while hanafuda features seasonal plant and animal motifs representing the twelve months of the year.
