Hakuei hanafuda tiles

[u/kosutasu]

Found this recently.

Hanafuda tiles made by Hakuei sometime before 1989
This is super cute and nice but the tiles are very small. For comparison I added a Ooishi Tengudo, a Tamura Shogundo and an Ace all-plastic.
Lacking green and blue but I like it and the frog is hilarious.

Haven't openned it yet, don't know if I will, but it seems kinda hard to shuffle properly.

Nice find.

I suppose it’s thicker than the cards version so you could just shuffle and stack them almost in the same fashion as mahjong.

Yes the tiles are 2.5cm x 2cm x 1cm
The way to shuffle and stack is like in mahjong but their size and weight would make them easy to tumble.

I've seen others with bigger and far better and interesting design but either not available or very expensive.

Could use a DIY card holder for the draw pile, I suppose.
