Based on the multi-awarded, homonymous manga, written and illustrated by Yuki Suetsugu, “Chihayafuru” revolves around Karuta and the relationship of a girl with two boys.
Karuda (coming from the word card) is a card game, where each card contains a waka (classical Japanese poetry) poem. It is played one on one, facilitated by a reciter (card reader) and a judge. Each player has a deck placed in front of him, consisting of 25 cards that he places face-up, in three layers in his or her territory. As the reciter reads a poem from a reading card, the players have to touch first the corresponding to the poem playing card, which contains only the last phrases of the poem.
