About Iroha Karuta

"Iroha Karuta" is derived from the "Iroha song," a classic Japanese poem that captures the fleeting nature of life with the lines, "Iroha song, which is a shallow dream and drunkenness, beyond the proverbial Okuyama today, where the colors scatter to the scent." This karuta uses all 47 characters of the hiragana script, known as "Iroha," along with the 48th character "Kyo" as the initial character of each phrase tag. Originating in Kyoto during the mid-Edo period, it spread to cities like Osaka, Nagoya, and Edo. Our app focuses on the Tokyo-style phrases.
