About this craft
Karuta dates to the Edo period (1603–1868) and evolved from Portuguese playing cards introduced in the 16th century. Japanese karuta encodes cultural narratives—particularly the 昔話 (mukashi-banashi, folk tales) edition—making the game a vehicle for passing down traditional stories, language, and customs across generations.
