This is a karuta (Japanese card game) featuring illustrations by the popular artist Gomi Taro. Both the picture cards and reading cards are enjoyable to look at and play with. As the children played with this repeatedly, it was not well-maintained, and 4 picture cards are missing. The missing cards are for the characters "shi," "re," "ro," and "wa." The reading cards are all present. All other cards are accounted for, so we are offering it to anyone who would like to use it as a plaything. The box also shows its age. Please check the photos. How about for New Year's play? - Title: Aiueo Karuta - Publisher: Ehonkan Co., Ltd. - Content: Karuta - ISBN: 978-4-87110-954-0 Thank you for looking.
