As per the title - I'm looking for scans of complete decks so I can use a custom playing card company to print a full sized deck, not commercially just a one off for myself! I'll go with standard TCG size so I can use card sleeves and get holo foil prints!

I was going through my daitouryou deck and noticed some of the edges of the back paper we're peeling off where it was folded. It's been used a good amount and I just assumed I shuffled it too roughly at some point for this to happen. Putting a little glue with a toothpick seems to do just fine.

Is this something that just happens overtime with use? I haven't really heard of anyone mentioning this.

Hi guys! I'm holding a couple of hanafuda making workshops this summer in both Japan and Sweden. In the workshops, we make the cards in the traditional way, first coloring them with stencils then pasting them together with black or red backing paper. I've held the same workshop thrice previously, at the World Culture Museum in Gothenburg and at Kyoto Playtest 2024, and it's always a blast. Here are some photos from the earlier workshops. If you put in the effort, you stand to walk home with a very nice-looking little deck. The whole thing takes around 3 hours.

all the online ones ive found are for online play or vs cpu. what if i want to play against a friend but don't have a physical deck? is there a good digital version for playing in-person?

I'm VERY new - like, ordered a deck online and haven't played irl or against actual people kind of new.

I have one question that bothers my brain.

Why are the crane and Phoenix cards in the bright category and not animal? And then the sake cup and the last May cards are animals?!

Someone help. Any tips on remembering this in play?

Thanks! :)

I’ve been looking at different decks and learning a little about different games that can be played with hanafuda cards, and it made me curious what aspects and elements are a MUST HAVE in each card. For example, you have to be able to tell what month each card is in, but would you still be able to play if the flowers changed- or does that ruin a rule for a game you play with the cards? What if someone drew different animals? Is there a good reference/resource for this info?

Does anyone know where I can find a printable monochrome template that I can cut and color myself as a first deck?

I have this extra card in my deck, does anyone know what card it is?

I have another recent threat about this deck, but Android does not seem to let me add photos to posts through brave or the app. Sorry for creating a new thread I just don't know how else to do it.

The card near the bottom right is the only one that has unique writing. According to Google lens it says 'special product'?

Does anyone know of an app that lets you play 88 with hanafuda cards?

All I ever see is koi-koi.

Some of the most disrespectful games I've ever played. 10/10

I've lost one card in a Nintendo set, which has annoyed me way more than it should've. Does anyone know if anyone sells singles, aside from those ridiculously overpriced Pokémon ones?

How did you guys found out about Hanafuda? Please share your story.

As the title says, I already have a deck of Hanafuda cards bought from Don quijote, but they are unfortunately quite small for mine and my friend's hands : I saw that there exist Korean and Hawaiian (?) variants of said card that are similliar to poker cards in size. I was curious to know where could I get those , do I need a specific game store or would Don quijote be alright?
