Deck description

A reinterpretation of a beautiful "hachi-hachi-bana" pattern from the Meiji Era. It tries to capture the realism of painted artworks of nature, using the most modern printing techniques available at the time. Originally, these cards were not sold as full decks, but are actually trading cards used to promote certain products, where you get one at random in each pack, and have to keep buying more packs in hopes of getting the full set. Somehow, some karuta manufacturer got a hold of the printed sheets of the full set, made cards with them, wrapped them with backpaper, and sold them as complete decks!
