Amazing! Hanafuda is a really fascinating game. I like the idea that you can feel the long Japanese history in your hands by playing this game. When I play Hanafuda, I can feel the ancient people's love of nature, how they appreciated the beauty of the natural world in different seasons. This is the reason why I like Hanafuda so much!
that's an inspiring reflexion, thank you :) the connection these ancient games have to their people's customs is indeed fascinating.I will eventually do a video about Mancala, it has something going on with it of the sort
@@ancientgaming4698 お返事ありがとうございます😊 Yeah, I feel that I can stand at the same point of view with ancient people when playing old games. I like your exploration of ancient games and their history. I look forward to another one😊楽しみです!!
there are 3 major card manufacturers in japan that still mass-produce standard hanafuda: Nintendo, Angel, and Oishi Tengudo. (100-yen hanafuda made by Nihon Parl Kakoh doesn't count) Nintendo is the best for gameplay enjoyment and durability. The cards are thick and hard; a deck is about 4.5 cm tall. The only downside is that they are pretty slippery right out of the box. Brand choice depends on finish preference: If you want smooth, glossy cards, your choice is daitoryo; If you want matte, slightly papery finish cards, your choice is miyako no hana. Tengu is half and half; it is papery on the front and glossy on the back. Angel has a similar quality to Nintendo, but slightly less expensive. they have 3 brands: genroku, chidori, and "hanafuda" (unbranded). i haven't bought the latter 2 brands, but genroku almost feels like a daitoryo deck, only the back is not as glossy and not as slippery. The design of the cards are a blatant copy of the Nintendo design. If you think Nintendo is too expensive, then you might want to consider buying an Angel deck. One downside: it lacks a blank card, so you don't have a joker; instead, they give you a specimen card, but it's the exact design as the ribbon of sakura. Edit: This is unless you bought the unbranded hanafuda deck, which advertises on the box that it includes 2 blank cards. Oishi Tengudo is the most expensive of the three, and also has a different feel to the cards. All their cards have a papery finish, like they used the same materials as the ones used for hyakunin isshu karuta. The cards are lighter, curves to the sides (intentional), and are thinner as well; a deck is about 3.75 cm tall, which was the standard thickness of a hanafuda deck from the late Edo period until the Meiji period. To a beginner, these cards feel cheaper than the other brands, and less durable. The cards have a simpler drawing design when compared to that used in Nintendo and Angel decks. Unlike Nintendo and Angel, all Oishi Tengudo cards have hand-pasted backs, which is the reason why they are more expensive. If you're a collector or if you like to support a card company that has existed since 1800, go for this deck (or any of their specialty hanafuda decks). But if you want to PLAY with the cards, i don't recommend this brand very much. they have 3 brands: Kintengu, Gintengu, and Lincoln. Apparently all of them are the same, the higher price indicates a better backpasting job. ("Shiki" brand is not included; it is not backpasted) Also if you happen to have a vintage Oishi Tengudo deck (from the early 1990's or older), you will find that the modern Oishi Tengudo deck feels NOTHING like the vintage one, which feels more like a standard hanafuda for that time.
Another great video dude. Other ancient games worth mentioning would of course be Go, Shogi (kind of covered in your Chaturanga video) and MahJong. I know there is already a great video by Shut Up & Sit down covering Go but would be nice to have one that focuses more on it's history. If you are interested in doing a MahJong one I have been putting together a game & history summary. Would be also cool to do a video of modern board games that feel like ancient games (theme & simple mechanics). My personal favourites would be Hive, Thud!, War Chest, Odins Ravens, Duke, Tatsu, Onitama, Tellstones, Dragon Castle, Tsuro, Hanamikoji, Santorini, Onirim and top one would be a less well know game called Element. Obviously there are also many modern board games that have an ancient history theme (Concordia, Isle of Sky, Ra, Kemet, Inis, Rising Sun...) but that could be yet another video! With how big the board game community is getting they're sure to be a big hit 👍
As always, thank you very much Ymir :)! you do have very interesting ideas. Go and Shogi are 2 of the games I'm debating myself to do next. I really like shogi, and have been playing a lot of Go recently. Shut Up & Sit Down's video about Go is amazing and very in depth but, as you say, Go's history is really interesting and I will for sure make a more history-focused video about it, similar to what I did for the history of dice. Kind of like with Chaturanga/early chess, Go and Shogi are two games with a very deep history behind them and I want to get them right, so they will probably require a lot of research (which is not a problem at all, it only requires more time). They are 2 of my favourite games as well, so I am very excited to work on them! As for MahJong, that's one that is on my radar for sure. I had not considered making a video about it any time soon but it is for sure an interesting proposition, so it would be great if you send me a DM on instagram with your summary, I would really love to check it out :)! As for modern games that feel like ancient games, I do really like that idea as well :) Hive is game I really enjoy playing and I did not know many of the other games you mentioned, so I will check them out as well. As I said, very interesting ideas indeed, thank you!
I can not thank you enough for these custom cards with the icons. It has been a really fun project for me and my wife to make the cards this Sunday morning.
Hola, me gustó mucho tu vídeo. Hace varios años que descubrí el juego y me encantó. He buscado mucha información acerca de él porque tuve la idea de hacer mi propia versión a la mexicana (soy diseñador e ilustrador mexicano). De momento lo juego en un emulador de GBC, pero ya me motive a hacer mi propia baraja impresa. Estaré pendiente de toda la info que subas acerca de juegos de cartas, me agrada tu estilo. Saludos!
Tambien debo decir que la "baraja de ayuda" que hiciste está genial, cuando recién descubrí el juego tardé algo en entender cómo se juega koi-koi. En el juego de GBC aún no entiendo muy bien como se hace la puntuación pues no entiendo kanjis, katakana o hiragana. También hay otros juegos además del koi-koi, ojalá puedas explicarlos algún día.
Mil gracias Gustavo! Eso que dices de una baraja estilo mexicano suena genial :D! Unos palos de luces con Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, Tonatiuh, etc. y unas llanuras de frutas exóticas por ejemplo molaría mazo. Si tienes una Switch, en clubhouse games hay una versión de hanafuda muy buena
@@gustavohernandez4068 me alegro que te guste la baraja de ayuda :) yo me la hice precisamente porque no me enteraba de nada xD, pero te acabas acostumbrando. En cuanto a los demás juegos de hanafuda, quiero cubrirlos en el futuro, hay algunos más complicados e interesantes que mezclan sistemas de apuestas elaborados, pero antes quiero cubrir otros juegos, espero que os gusten :D
Thank you very much :) I think it would be hard to paralel the elements of the Harmonia Macro with the suits and special cards of hanafuda, perhaps one of the later plates, #29 maybe? It would be definetly be cool to implement them in some way, but I see that more plausible as a decorative element for a game board or something like that, it is indeed a great idea
Gracias por compartir las cartas con ayuda! Es más fácil aprender así. He visto que las reglas de puntuación varían un poco en diferentes videos. Me imagino que en Japón también es así según cada familia o región.

Can't believe you made a whole video about Hanafuda without bring up Nintendo, who's been making Hanafuda since 1889
I have a whole video on hanafuda where I speak about its history, and where I bring up Nintendo
Great work, much appreciated!
I can not thank you enough for these custom cards with the icons. It has been a really fun project for me and my wife to make the cards this Sunday morning.
I used to buy hanafuda cards from the super market as a kid in Hawaii in the 90s we played before during and after school
Cool! Did they have any particular design?
Great!!! And free!! Thank you Guillermo. Beautiful cards and easy to make. Now it's not easy going to Japan...😕. Much better making them by yourself
Your videos are fantastic, thankyou!
Thanks to you!!! :) I have the next one almost ready!!
sanko means 3 brights
if you refer to brights as a rank, it's "hikari"

I love your digital remaster of the medieval period images. Have you thought about doing the Harmonia Macrocosmica plates?
Thank you very much :) I think it would be hard to paralel the elements of the Harmonia Macro with the suits and special cards of hanafuda, perhaps one of the later plates, #29 maybe?
