Not very much Koi-koi being played here!

These designs seem to have a calming influence on me.

This has to be the ONLY Hanafuda-themed advert I have ever seen advertising fast food!

Deer and Maple (Art-Meter)


This is my 100th post! So, I decided to 'celebrate' it with this colourful piece that  I found on Art-Meter. Don't try buying one as these are SOLD OUT!

Disney Hanafuda


 

I bought a deck of these whilst in Japan.  I'm not a huge fan of Disney but I liked the look of these as (unlike other manga or anime themed Hanafuda) I actually knew the characters.  The cards themselves are made of cheap card (disappointing), so I don't think they would last much past a few serious sessions of Koi-Koi! Due to this, I'm just going to keep them as a collectors item. At the time of purchase these cost me the equivalent of £10.
