Know More about
Ogura Hyakunin Isshu(Karuta)
Hyakunin Isshu (百人一首) is a classical Japanese anthology of one hundred Japanese waka by one hundred poets. Hyakunin isshu can be translated to "one hundred people, one poem [each]"; it can also refer to the card game of uta-garuta, which uses a deck composed of cards based on the Hyakunin Isshu.
The most famous and standard version was compiled by Fujiwara no Teika (1162–1241) while he lived in the Ogura district of Kyoto. It is therefore also known as Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (小倉百人一首).
How to Play?
To play Hyakunin Isshu karuta, someone reads out a poem, and a player must identify the card—faster than the opponents—with only the second half of the poem displayed on it, just by listening to the first half of the poem. In the modern era, the game evolved into a more formalized style of play known as "competitive karuta," where two players race head-to-head. In competitive karuta, not only do you need to know all of the poems by heart, but you also need excellent visual, listening and concentration skills, as well as stamina.
It’s a contest of speed as well as memory, and we’ll watch a national champion spot her card in just 0.2s. The old poems also provide an introduction to Japanese culture, another attraction for the growing number of players who are now taking up this game around the world.
