Yona of the Dawn Flower and Dream Appendix Set


Because, squirrels….

Can you elaborate a bit on your information regarding the intersection of Nihon Karuta and Tohoku Karuta? I have found it difficult to find information on the timelines on which these companies faded away, but it had been my impression that Tohoku Karuta ceased their own direct production of cards earlier than Nihon Karuta, and moved on to sourcing cards from Tamura Shogundo once Nihon Karuta had gone out of business. I have no certain information regarding this timeline, however, and would be quite interested to know more.

Nothing more than can be found here I’m afraid:

Tohoku date info is pretty scarce


Nihon Karuta seems to have been founded in 1915, as this is when its earliest trademark registrations appear. Other records show that it existed in 1916, 1948 and through to at least the early 1980s

Tōhoku was a manufacturer based in the city of Tendō, Yamagata prefecture (山形県天童市 ). They originally appear to have been a manufacturer (including for Seieidō), but later outsourced production to Tamura Shōgundō. The company seems to still exist in some form as Tendon Shogi (appears also closed now)

You need a little クリーム in that coffee

[GandalfPC]

perhaps some 焼酎

“Coffee shochu is shochu infused with whole roasted beans, which imbue the flavor of coffee and alter the tint of the alcohol to a dark brown. When appropriately prepared, the spirit has a balanced flavor profile, meaning the taste of coffee doesn't overbear that of the shochu”

Sakuragi Hanafuda

found on Etsy, one deck left at the moment: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1703735783 ... e-cards-48 [...]

I think these arrived today, but the girl I asked to open the parcel for me was being so bloody violent with the scissors opening the parcel I left the final of bubblewrap on and said that I'd open it tomorrow. She was like Freddy Krueger.

[GandalfPC]

I have had some things arrive in so many layers of bubble wrap and packing tape that I felt like I was freeing a fossil from stone

[GandalfPC]

In process of nabbing these (or attempting to - quite the battle), a few cards of a deck that I must now track down, and I get the feeling it won’t be easy…. old tobacco cards from japan with hanafuda and poker mix…

[Timmargh]

So, I may have spent a lot of money on some decks.

Oops.

[Timmargh]

Don't thank me, Gandalf; I'm holding you personally responsible.
