Do you know Nihonbashi Karuta?

I didn't know at all before, but this time I happened to visit the venue and learned about this Karuta.


"Nihonbashi Karuta" is the "Local Karuta" that was born in Nihonbashi in 2010.
The Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-Year Planning Committee was created by the "Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-Year Planning Committee" because of the desire to continue to communicate with people living, working, and children in Nihonbashi.
