Remarques & avis / Review — A wonderful iroha karuta game in kirie (cut papers) by the famous illustrator ANNO Mitsumasa ([jp] [en]). As always with Anno, he adds his own clever touch and twist to everything he works on: traditionally in iroha karuta there are 48 cards with proverbs and 48 corresponding illustrated cards, but here all are illustrated and the text is split between each pair of cards.
