The origin and history of playing cards
The origin of playing cards is said to be "Yezi," a paper card game that was born in the Tang Dynasty in China. This is where the journey of playing cards began.
- It spread from China to the Islamic world and developed into a card game with four suits.
- It was introduced to Europe in the 14th century and spread in Italy and Spain.
- The current standard shapes (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) were established in France in the 15th century.
Over time, playing cards have evolved into their current design as they have crossed over between Eastern and Western cultures.
When did Trump come to Japan?
Playing cards were introduced to Japan in the 16th century.
The first playing cards were "Karuta," which was brought to Japan by the Portuguese during the Sengoku period.
・At the time, it was called "Nanban Karuta" and was very popular among samurai.
・There are records of people getting so enthusiastic that a ban was issued.
・This is the origin of Japanese "Karuta" culture
During the Meiji period, British and American-style playing cards became popular in ordinary households, and in 1902, Nintendo in Kyoto became the first company in Japan to manufacture playing cards. From there, Japan's "playing card culture" quickly took root.
