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

This deck features an almost complete set but is missing two cards. The missing cards are in the pine suit of January and the plum blossom suit of February. We have included five other random cards that don't go with this set but could be used somehow as replacements to the missing ones. Or perhaps this set would be great for some other artistic use.

It comes with a clear plastic lift top with a black cradle base. The case shows signs of age, with scuffing and scratches, but still sturdy and holds the cards well.

This set is in good vintage condition with missing cards, signs of age, fading, 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.
