Hanafuda is a Japanese traditional card game.
It was created 450 years ago and people in Japan have played this game for a long time.
Hanafuda consists of 48 cards. They are divided into 12 groups which express the 12 months. There are beautiful illustrations which suit each of months on every card. Japanese traditional flowers are the main illustrations, for example, cherry blossom, wisteria and chrysanthemum. Japanese traditional birds are also painted on them, for example, cranes, little cuckoos and the Japanese bush warbler. You can enjoy seeing them when you play it.
You can play seven games at least by using Hanafuda. The most popular game is “koikoi”. This game needs 2 players. In this game, players turn over cards alternately and make a hanafuda hand like mah-jong or poker.
The names of the hands are very unique. “Tukimi-de-ippai” is one of the hands, it means that drinking alcoholic while seeing a beautiful moon. There is also a hand whose name means that drinking alcoholic while seeing beautiful flowers.
“Hanaawase” is also a popular game of Hanafuda. It is easier than “koikoi” and 7 players can play together at once.
You can buy Hanafuda at hundred-yen stores. You should enjoy it as soon as possible!
