This listing is for a complete set of vintage hanafuda cards. Hanafuda is a traditional Japanese card game that blends art, strategy, and seasonal symbolism. 

This deck has a beautifully worn, well played character, with softened edges, muted cream paper, and bold colors. The animal motifs are especially charming, including the bright maple deer of October and tanzaku banner cards with poetic or regional phrases, which add personality to the set. The printing style is rustic and expressive that has aged into a warm, collectible patina. Black borders and backs.

The deck is stored in a sturdy clear plastic lift top box with a black base with the trademark "ACE" on the underside. ACE is a well-known Japanese card manufacturer. The case shows expected wear but holds the cards well with an authentic retro look.

This set is in very good vintage condition with signs of age, worn edges, and mottling. Each card is 1.25 inches x 2 inches.

The last photo shows an example of a traditional set, however there can be variations in the artwork. For rules and instructions on the basic Japanese game, click here.
