Cards...

The Hanafuda deck consists of 48 cards divided into 12 suits of 4 cards. Each suit represents each of the 12 months of the year and have on them Japanese representations of plants, flowers or natural phenomena associated with that month. Like a normal deck of playing cards, some cards carry higher values than other cards. These cards are denoted by the addition of pictures of animals, celestial bodies, people or pictures of rectangular pieces of paper. These pieces of paper are traditionally used for writing poetry and are called Tanzaku.
