These traditional handmade karuta cards are from Oishi Tengudo, a long-established karuta manufacturer founded in 1800. The beautiful pale-colored illustrations of poets are a reproduction of the Hyakunin Isshu poems, painted in the ink-wash style by Reizei Tamechika, an artist active during the Edo period. They make a great art piece to collect or as a gift.
