A special printing technology is used to reproduce the vivid colors, metallic texture, and unevenness of the scales of fish that you don’t see in everyday life. Depending on the rules, everyone can play together, including the elderly with poor eyesight and small children, and they can also learn the kanji for fish and trivia. Since it is made of water-resistant material, you can also float it in the bath.

I handed over a sample of “Sakana Karuta” on the spot, and my daughter “Kanon-chan” liked “Sakana Karuta”. It all started when someone told me they wanted to make a goldfish version. Shortly afterwards, I received a call to give a presentation about the goldfish version
