The ultra-popular Japanese VTuber group hololive takes on the world of traditional Japanese card games in Holo's Hanafuda!
What Is Hanafuda?
Hanafuda, Japanese for "flower cards," are traditional Japanese playing cards beloved by people of all ages. Twelve suits in total make up a deck, with each suit corresponding to a month of the year, and each card decorated with a unique and gorgeous illustration that depicts seasonal imagery matching the card's suit.
Hanafuda cards have a long and fascinating history in Japan. Speaking of which, fun fact: Nintendo originally started as a hanafuda card manufacturing company!
