Karuta Karuta (かるた , from Portuguese "carta" ["card"]) are Japanese playing cards. Playing cards were introduced to Japan by the Portuguese traders during the mid-16th century. These early decks were used for trick-taking games. "Karuta" packs are divided into two groups, those that are descended from Portuguese cards and those from "e-awase". "E-awase" originally derived from "kai-awase", which was played with shells but were converted to card format during the early 17th-century. It is said that the earliest indigenous "karuta" was first invented in the town of Miike in Chikugo Province at around the end of the 16th century. The Miike Karuta Memorial Hall located in Ōmuta, Fukuoka is the only municipal museum in Japan dedicated specifically to the history of "karuta". Chinese playing cards of the money-suited and domino types existed in Japan from at least the late 18th century until the early 20th century. Their games would influence those played with the "Hanafuda" pack.
