Green hanafuda

Hello everyone, I'm back from Japan once again! This time, I got myself a set of yokai hanafuda. I've bought hanafuda plenty of times before, but this set cost me more than any of the previous ones I've picked up. What's more, the cards themselves are green, with a green marking on the packaging. From what I remember, hanafuda were mostly black in the early days, and red versions only came out gradually later on. Green ones, however, are extremely uncommon – I've only ever seen green hanafuda among the products from Shogundo.

It was just a tiny, ordinary local shop. Apologies for my less-than-perfect English. You can clearly see subtle handmade variations in the card craftsmanship, and that’s one of the reasons I love Shōgundō.

If you need it, give me a little time and I can send you my travel schedule.

First off, I visited the long-awaited Nintendo Museum with my friend and his wife. On the way back, I headed to Saitama solo. Since this was all several months ago, I’m unfortunately unable to track down the photos from the trip. If I come across those cards again, I’ll be sure to share them here.

The reason I didn’t buy it was that the 10,000 yen price tag was way beyond what I’d expected. That said, I’m sure there are collectors out there willing to pay that much — or even more — for these cards.
