    I bought these years ago at an antique mall just because I liked them. I think they're Japanese but don't know a lot about then. Are they a type of game?

      I believe these are Japanese Karuta Playing Cards.

      Thank you. That will give me some place to start.

      These are japanese karuta playing cards circa 1750, and there are 100 poems and 100 of the people that wrote the poems, so a whole deck would be 200 cards.
