==History==

{{Main|Karuta}}
Playing cards were introduced to Japan by the Portuguese in the mid-16th century. The [[Portuguese-suited playing cards|Portuguese deck]] consisted of 48 cards, with four suits divided into 12 ranks. The first Japanese-made decks made during the [[Tenshō (Momoyama period)|Tenshō period]] (1573–1592) mimicked Portuguese decks and are referred to as ''Tenshō Karuta''. The main game was a [[trick-taking game]] intermediate in evolution between [[Triomphe#Spanish rules|Triunfo]] and [[Ombre]].<ref>Depaulis, Thierry (2009). "Playing the Game: Iberian Triumphs Worldwide". ''[[The Playing-Card]]''. Vol 38-2, p. 134-137.</ref> After Japan closed off all contact with the Western world in 1633, foreign playing cards were banned.<ref>Harris, Blake J., [[Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation]], It Books, 2014-May-13. {{ISBN|978-0062276698}}. "Chapter 5"</ref>

In 1648, {{Transliteration|ja|Tenshō Karuta}} were banned by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Mann |first1=Sylvia |last2=Wayland |first2=Virginia |title=The Dragons of Portugal |date=1973 |publisher=Sanford |location=Farnham |page=46}}</ref> During prohibition, gambling with cards remained highly popular which led to disguised card designs. Each time gambling with a card deck of a particular design became too popular, the government banned it, which then prompted the creation of a new design. This cat-and-mouse game between the government and rebellious gamblers resulted in the creation of increasingly abstract and minimalist regional patterns (地方札). These designs were initially called ''Yomi Karuta'' after the popular [[Poch]]-like game of ''Yomi'' which was known by the 1680s.<ref name="Kakkuri">Kuromiya Kimihiko. (2005). "Kakkuri: The Last Yomi Game of Japan". ''[[The Playing-Card]]'', Vol 33-4. p. 232-235.</ref>

Through the [[Meiwa]], [[An'ei]], and [[Tenmei]] eras (roughly 1764–1789), a game called ''Mekuri'' took the place of ''Yomi''. It became so popular that ''Yomi Karuta'' was renamed ''Mekuri Karuta''.<ref name="Kakkuri" /> Mechanically, ''Mekuri'' is similar to Chinese fishing games.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=McLeod|first1=John|last2=Dummett|first2=Michael|title=Hachi-Hachi|journal=[[The Playing-Card]]|date=1975|volume=3|issue=4|pages=26–39}}</ref> Cards became so commonly used for gambling that they were banned in 1791, during the [[Kansei]] era. On the other hand, [[Uta-garuta]] such as [[Hyakunin Isshu]] were officially permitted as being educationally beneficial. So as a loophole to the ban, early hanafuda were made to have old poems on some of the cards, disguising them as Uta-garuta. Remnants of this can be seen via the tanzaku-ranked cards.

The earliest known reference to {{Transliteration|ja|hana awase}} (a previous version of {{Transliteration|ja|hanafuda}}) is from 1816 when it was recorded as a banned gambling tool. The earliest decks contained between 12, 20, and even 32 suits, each with one high value card, one tanzaku card, and two low-value cards.<ref>{{Cite web |title=江戸時代～昭和時代 伝統の花札一覧 - 日本かるた文化館 |url=https://japanplayingcardmuseum.com/edo-showa-dentou-hanafuda/ |access-date=2023-10-13 |language=ja}}</ref>

As {{Transliteration|ja|hana awase}} modernized into {{Transliteration|ja|hanafuda}}, it standardized at 12 months (suits) with four rank-like categories. The majority of {{Transliteration|ja|hanafuda}} games are descended from ''Mekuri'' although ''Yomi'' adaptations for the flower cards survived until the 20th century.<ref name="Kakkuri" /> Though they can still be used for gambling, its structure and design is less convenient than other decks such as [[Kabufuda]]. In the [[Meiji period]], playing cards became tolerated by the authorities.

Though modern Japanese hanafuda is primarily made today by either of the long-standing [[Oishi Tengudo]] (1800) or Nintendo (1889), dozens of others have manufactured hanafuda, such as Angel, [[:ja:田村将軍堂|Tamura Shogundo]], [[:ja:松井天狗堂|Matsui Tengudo]], Ace, Maruē, and many more.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1969 |title=Japanese Hanafuda Brands |url=https://games.porg.es/articles/cards/japan/hanafuda/traditional-manufacturers/ |access-date=2023-10-13 |website=Ways To Play |language=en}}</ref>

[[Image:CaryJap2JackofSpades.jpg|thumb|upright|Playing card (fused Jack of Spades and November Hikari) from the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University]]

Hanafuda were likely introduced to Korea during the late 1890s<ref name="Kim">{{cite book|last1=Kim|first1=Kwang-ŏn.|url=https://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=2271784&cid=51273&categoryId=51273|title=Tong Asia ŭi nori|date=2004|publisher=Minsogwŏn|isbn=89-5638-121-6|location=Seoul|access-date=17 September 2020}}</ref><ref name="Fairbairn">{{cite journal|last1=Fairbairn|first1=John|date=1991|title=Modern Korean cards - a Japanese perspective|journal=[[The Playing-Card]]|volume=20|issue=2|pages=68–72}}</ref> and to Hawaii in the early 1900s.<ref name=":1" /> Since then, companies and individuals in Korea and Hawaii have produced their own hanafuda, sometimes adapting the original Japanese imagery to fit either culture. Also made for western audiences are decks which fuse hanafuda with Toranpu (トランプ, "Trumps" a.k.a. the [[standard 52-card deck]]). These decks have indices on all their cards, and introduce a 13th suit which varies considerably by manufacturer (jokers, flowers, objects from japanese imagery, left blank or used as a "snow" suit, left as [[King (playing card)|western Kings]], etc.).

==Cards==
There are 48 cards total, divided into twelve suits, representing months of the year. Each suit is designated by a flower and has four cards.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hanafuda: Japanese "Flower Cards" Designed to Circumvent Ban on Western Decks|url=https://99percentinvisible.org/article/flower-cards-japanese-hanafuda-designed-to-circumvent-ban-on-western-decks/|access-date=2021-02-23|website=99% Invisible|date=November 2, 2018|language=en-US|archive-date=February 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225081845/https://99percentinvisible.org/article/flower-cards-japanese-hanafuda-designed-to-circumvent-ban-on-western-decks/|url-status=live}}</ref> An extra blank card may be included to serve as a replacement. In Korean ''hwatu'' decks, several joker cards (조커패) award various bonuses.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Sloper|first1=Tom|title=Go-Stop|url=https://www.sloperama.com/gostop/cards.html|access-date=20 December 2017|website=www.sloperama.com|archive-date=October 3, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201003115810/https://www.sloperama.com/gostop/cards.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The standard categorizations and point values for each card are as follows. Note that some games change the point values or categorizations of the cards. For example, in the game [[Hachi-Hachi]], all of the November cards count as ''kasu'', and in the game [[Sakura (card game)|Sakura]], the values of the cards are different.

=== Text significance ===
A few cards in hanafuda contain [[Japanese language|Japanese]] text. Early hanafuda had poems in order to disguise themselves as Uta-garuta, but the text had since been simplified in modern times. In addition to the examples below, the December {{lang|ja|kasu}} cards typically display the manufacturer's name and marks, similar to the [[Ace of spades]] in western [[Standard 52-card deck|playing cards]].
