For people who never played karuta before: Karuta is a game about listening and being fast. A reader reads a reading card aloud and the players search, find and grab the correct matching playing card as fast as he/she could. You need to focus and listen and be faster than your opponents to take the correct playing card to win. It is a traditional Japanese New Year's game that became very popular again through the manga and anime Chihayafuru. There are over one million karuta club members in Japan today who compete in the competitive karuta sport.
