Guri and Gura Karuta: A Popular Picture Book - Title: Guri and Gura - Author: Rieko Nakagawa - Illustrator: Yuriko Yamawaki - Contents: Card Set - Language: Japanese - Publisher: Fukuinkan Shoten This karuta is filled with the world of "Guri and Gura," which has been loved by children since its publication over 50 years ago. It's "Guri and Gura" but also karuta, and karuta but also "Guri and Gura." Characters from the picture book also appear! Children familiar with the original work, as well as those who haven't read it yet, are sure to be captivated by the world of "Guri and Gura" immediately. Carefully selected "words" and "pictures" - Enjoy with the whole family! Karuta Guri and Gura The relationship between "words" and "pictures" is very important. We carefully created the reading cards with words that are easy for children to understand and pictures that evoke those words. Words that are easy to understand are also easy to speak. You can also enjoy the fun of reading the cards. Karuta also provides children with an opportunity to interact with hiragana. And the great thing about karuta is that everyone can play together, and adults and children are on equal footing. Adults follow the characters, and children follow the pictures - who will win? You might lose if you underestimate the children!? Or perhaps it's time to show off your adult dignity!? Why not get the whole family hooked on this traditional Japanese game throughout the year, not just during the New Year's holiday? Thank you for viewing.
