Hanafuda

Mondays, 10 – 11:30 (to begin in August, date tbd)

Hanafuda, known as “flower cards” is a form of traditional Japanese playing cards. Hanafuda has a rich history dating back to the HEIAN ERA (794-1185). It has 48 cards divided into 12 months of the Japanese calendar. Each month features a floral theme and symbols proposed by Japanese nature through the seasons of a year.

This beginner’s class will teach Hanafuda with KOIKOI rule, a popular two person player game forming combinations ( yaku) and trying to gain more points than the opponents. Learn the basics of Hanafuda and practice playing together.
