Japanese Hanafuda Cards by Disney!
Japanese games company Angel has joined forces with Disney to produce a novelty Hanafuda card deck featuring Disney characters on the cards.
Hanafua card decks were developed in Japan over 350 years ago in response to the introduction of Western-style playing cards.
A hanafuda card deck consists of 48 cards divided into 12 suits of four cards each. Each “suit” is named after a month of the year and allocated a flower from that month. The word “Hanafuda” can be literally translated as “flower cards”.
