About this craft
Iroha karuta is a centuries-old educational card game that teaches 48 classical proverbs (kotowaza) derived from Buddhist and Confucian wisdom. The name comes from the opening phrase 'Inu mo arukeba bō ni ataru' (even a dog will stumble upon a stick)—emphasizing humility and acceptance of life's uncertainties.
