This is a reproduction of the iroha karuta, a card game familiar as Inubou karuta, originally created in the Edo period.
Iroha karuta is said to have been developed to teach children proverbs. It is an essential item for households. Since it is a proverb card game from the Edo period, it comes with an easy-to-understand explanatory booklet.
The illustrations on this "Iroha karuta" are works painted by the Japanese painter Taeko Watanabe using a modern Japanese painting style.
Because the proverbs in "Iroha karuta" that originated in the Edo period have changed over time or vary by region, the phrases on this product are based on those believed to be from the Meiji era, selected by our company (Kyoto Tengu-do).
However, some phrases that are now largely meaningless have been replaced with other proverbs.
Enjoyable for both children and adults, this Edo-style Iroha karuta is a reproduction of the Edo period original.
It was created to teach children proverbs and is considered a necessary item for households.
Since it is based on a proverb card game from the Edo period, it includes an easy-to-understand explanatory booklet.
Please note that some phrases with little current relevance have been replaced with other proverbs.
