Hokkaido Pattern (with metallic overprints)

About this pattern

This luxurious design is a reinterpretation of how the long discontinued Hokkaido hanafuda pattern may have looked like if it were overprinted with gold and silver paints. The beautifully detailed woodblock pattern features Japanese poems on the Chaff cards, as well as the closed umbrella on the Rain Man card and the lack of a lightning storm motif on the Willow Chaff, all of which were typical of old "Musashino" hanafuda designs from the late 1700's.
