A great idea to them in one deck so that you get to use two divination methods, as well as the card games.

I suppose you could arrive at sets of four by other methods, but what struck me was that in the final (3) sets each set had two cards which were the same. Also one card in each set just had a banner with writing. It seemed to me that only the top animal cards were 'read'.
Perhaps some other spread could be devised whereby if two cards with the same image appeared, it would have a meaning different to if only one of them appeared. And the written-banner cards....... I wonder what they say?

I can relate to this, if only regarding quality playing-card decks . There's nothing like the buttery feel of, and soft 'phut', of placing well made cardstock slickly down on a table top.kenji said:Hi Eve ...............

Though it may sound a bit strange, quality karuta cards (including Hana-fuda) are supposed to appeal not only to users' eyes and hands, but also to ears. In the play, a well-crafted card makes a pleasant snap sound when thrown down with vigour to another card on the board. Besides, brand-new handmade karuta packs smell quite good. Thus, karuta is made to be pleasing to all the senses but taste -- Well, in fact it may possibly taste good, too. I never tried that. (LOL)
