vintage edo iroha karuta card game by Takeo Takei
$78.00
/
This Japanese card game, iroha karuta (proverb-matching cards), is a race to match proverbs read aloud in Japanese with their illustrated cards. Takeo Takei’s expressive characters give these cards much of their charm, including a night watchman smoking beside his “beware of fire” lantern. Takei helped establish illustration for children as an art form in Japan, and there is plenty to enjoy in his drawings without reading Japanese. The complete set comes in its fabric-covered folding case.
Printed card; fabric-covered folding case. Complete set of 48 picture cards and 48 reading cards.
17 × 12.5 × 5 cm
sourced in Japan.
