Showa Retro Ogura Hyakunin Isshu Hiragana Karuta | 100 Reading Cards, 98 Matching Cards | Antique

Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets)
This is a miniature hiragana karuta set.

Made with soft paper,
featuring kanji characters with a deep, unique flavor not found in modern products,
this appears to be an antique Hyakunin Isshu set from around the early Showa era.

It has a quiet presence, characteristic of paper items that have aged over a long period.
More suitable as a collection piece, a resource for Japanese cultural studies, or an antique item, rather than for practical use.
