Welcome to the webpage for the Lansing, Michigan (United States) area
karuta club! The Karuta Club of Lansing was formed in March of 2013 in
hopes of spreading interest in the traditional Japanese card game of
karuta. Specifically, the Karuta Club of Lansing plays hyakunin isshu
karuta (百人一首かるた), the same type of karuta that is played in the popular
anime/manga Chihayafuru. While karuta has a small population of players
in Japan, it is almost non-existent in other countries. However, karuta
is an extraordinary game that can be enjoyed by not only Japanese
people, but from people from all different walks of life! The goal of
this club is to showcase how fun karuta really is, and to immerse more
and more people in it.
The Karuta Club of Lansing is currently looking for new members!
Novices
and experienced players alike are more than welcome to join! Even if
you aren't yet able to read hiragana, we'll be more than willing to help
you learn so you can enjoy playing karuta. If you live in the Lansing
area and have at least a little interest in perhaps learning how to play
karuta, feel free to contact me at mercerp@mail.lcc.edu. I look forward to hearing from you!
