Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets) This is a Hyakunin Isshu set with an easy-to-understand recitation CD. It includes easy-to-understand recitations by Michiko Yamashita, a dedicated reader from the All Japan Karuta Association. The cards have a nice texture that makes the most of the paper's feel. They use special paper for Hyakunin Isshu, are thick and easy to handle, and are durable, making them recommended for repeated practice in competition. An explanatory booklet with explanations of all the poems and readers is included. Used only about twice, so it's in beautiful condition! The box is only slightly dirty due to being stored for about a year.
