I received a small 1, azuki, and "Nihonbashi Karuta".
This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.♪
Happy new year.
We look forward to seeing you again this year.
It's the end of the year.
My daughter Azuki (small 1) came back from school.
A letter and "Nihonbashi Karuta" came out of the school bag! ! ! ！
What is Nihonbashi Karuta?
I actually wrote an article about two and a half years ago.
I would like to introduce you based on your new letter.

First-year elementary school students
This "Nihonbashi Karuta" is located in the Nihonbashi area where you go to school.
Historical people, buildings, festivals, etc.
It is made so that you can enjoy "Karuta play".
As we give to everybody, we have fun playing "Karuta play" with family and friends.
I would be very happy if you could learn more about the Nihonbashi area and like it.
To the Parents
Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation in the activities of the Committee.
As mentioned above, Nihonbashi Karuta is composed of themes such as landscapes, history, traditions, and culture of the Nihonbashi area.
"It was produced in 2010 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its establishment with the aim of encouraging the children and local people who will bear tomorrow to have more knowledge and pride in the Nihonbashi area than ever.
Since then, it has been distributed as a school teaching material to help the local children's education with the support of many people.
We hope that you will deepen your attachment to the local Nihonbashi area through this "Nihonbashi Karuta".

That's right.
Reading phrases are selected from works by 894 people and more than 4,000 phrases of general applicants from 38 prefectures nationwide and ages from 8 to 92 years old.
The tag is "Nihonbashi Karuta" made with illustrations by Heisei's ukiyo-e artist, the sixth generation Utagawa Nationalist.
The picture on the tag is also vivid, and I think it is perfect for New Year's play.
It is also a fun way to learn about the history and culture of the region.
I think it's very good.
However, let me add one point.
In the previous article, I wrote, "I purchased it at Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center."
Currently, it is no longer sold (about two years ago).
"Chuo-ku Board of Education has created and created as" school teaching materials "for new first-year students.
The Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-Year Planning Committee is helping to distribute it."
It seems that it has been changed to this way.
I'm sorry that the chances of the general public have almost disappeared.
If you think that it has always been in touch with the eyes of the local children and their families.
The original purpose of this Karuta is to understand the Nihonbashi area.
I thought it might be a good thing.
As one's own experience, what did you learn about the area where you live?
After all, I realize that it was something memorable.
"Karuta Tournament" is held safely!
The website of the "Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-Year Planning Committee" is available.
Elementary school students from the Nihonbashi area gathered.
Participation in the "Karuta Tournament" using "Nihonbashi Karuta" was also introduced.

If the COVID-19 situation calms down a little more
Will the Karuta tournament be resumed?
While waiting for that time, I'm thinking of polishing Karuta's skills at home ... ! !
Aim! "Nihonbashi Karuta" master!
