Japanese Hanafuda Full Moon printed image on cotton canvas small drawstring bag

Fun present for a lover of Japanese culture, history and Japan in general. The image is the Full Moon card in Hanafuda. The cards went through many iterations and were frequently banned because of their connection to gambling and organized crime. Hanafuda cards as they exist now first appeared in the mid-1800s. In 1889, the Nintendo Company formed specifically to manufacture hand-printed hanafuda cards.
