Karuta Festival

Karuta Festival and Karuta Tournament

Ogura Hyakunin Karuta bill
 This is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Tenji, who composed the first poem in the 'Ogura Hyakunin Isshu'. Ogura Hyakunin Isshu features a collection of waka poems one from each of 100 great poets in Japanese history.
 Karuta are playing cards bearing pictures and writing.There are two kinds of cards used in the game of Hyakunin Isshu ― yomifuda and torifuda. Each yomifuda has one of the poems printed in its entirety. Each torifuda has only the second half of a poem printed on it. A reciter reads out yomifuda one at a time, and the players compete to grab the corresponding torifuda.
All Japan High School Ogura Hyakunin Isshu Karuta Tournament
 At 'competitive karuta' the players movements as they reach out for the torifuda cards are so fast, you can barely tell what's going on. Because of its intensity, it has been called a 'martial art on tatami'.
 And in recent years, the impact of the popular comic book story "Chihayafuru" that features the card game "karuta" has played a part in sparking a karuta boom chiefly among the younger generation.
 "Chihayafuru" is a popular comic book whose main character is a high school girl who becomes passionate about competitive karuta.
 The "All Japan High School Ogura Hyakunin Isshu Karuta Tournament" draws a crowd of more than 1000 competitors from all over Japan every July.
