Karuta I love Ogura Hyakunin Isshu. It is а classical Japanese poetry. The compilation unites one hundred poets early and late Heian. I like this anthology because I found reflection my senses in many poems. All that I feel I can describe of any poem from Hyakunin Isshu. Especially I like Akikazeni. Even some poems I memorized on Japanese. Hyakunin Isshu is required for study in Japanese schools. Though poems was written on old Japanese language and many words lost its own meaning. Also Japanese created a card game on base Hyakunin Isshu - karuta. Since Portuguese brought cards to Japan and more early when poems was had been written on shells. The essence of the game when reader begin read any poem, gamers have to find a card with second half of the poem. All one hundred cards contain second half of poems only. It is speed game. Karuta is kind of sport in Japan. I know there are karuta clubs around the world. But Russia has not the karuta club and it is difficult to find partner for game. Karuta is fun. I mastered it and I am glad when there is a partner which can play karuta match with me.
