I was so happy to find this print! In this print This is a portrait of Taira no Shigemori (1138 – September 2, 1179) was the eldest son of the Taira clan patriarch, Taira no Kiyomori. He took part in the Hōgen and Heiji rebellions. He died of illness in 1179. This is a cut out from a magazine. This is from early showa period (1950~). There are 2 wives behind room screens.

Vintage Japanese Game Card Chiyo Wife of Yamauchi Kazutoyo Set 15 From 1937

Vintage Japanese Game Card Chiyo Wife of Yamauchi Kazutoyo  Set 15 From 1937



Vintage Japanese Game Card Chiyo Wife of Yamauchi Kazutoyo Set 15 From 1937



Karuta is the most popular among the many kinds of card games in Japan. It is played mostly on New Year's Day, but there are also national conventions for playing karuta. Each card has a poem, or portion thereof, written on it with a total of 100 poems in the game.

The 45th NHK Taiga drama (2006) is a dramatization of the life of Kazutoyo, with his wife Chiyo as the central character. Kōmyō-ga-tsuji: The story tells Chiyo,as a wise and beautiful wife, helped her husband Yamauchi Kazutoyo up from an ordinary samurai to the governor of an entire province, Tosa

****** PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRE CARD SET but rather some of the cards as it was an incomplete game so we broke them up into smaller sets.

2 cards in this set. 

In this set, the game of karuta involves two types of cards.

1 "reading" card with drawings: yomifuda
1 "grabbing" card with words: torifuda

There are whole phrases of waka from the collection called Hyakunin Isshu written on the yomifuda. Only the lower phrase of the waka is written on the torifuda. When the reader reads out the waka on the yomifuda, the player quickly searches for the card among the torifuda to look for the phrase that matches the one that the reader is reading. This is the basic rule.

These are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are from 1937.

These would be great for using in your art...mixed media, collage etc.

Each card measures 7 x 4.8 cm.

You get the cards you see in the pictures.

Geisha Pillow available at Etsy.com





This is a very unique set of pillows called "takamakura" which means "tall pillow". These were used by Geisha/Maiko to keep their elaborate hair styles perfect even while sleeping but it wasn't easy to sleep on them so to reinforce the importance of having perfect hair, rice was poured around the base of the support. If the geisha's head rolled off the support while she slept, rice would stick in her hair. The girl would thus have to repeat this process until her head no longer rolled from its support. Typically, without this happening, a geisha would have her hair styled about every week. 

The base of the 2 two pillows is "urushi" or Japanese wood lacquer. Please look carefully at the pictures. 

Each pillow measures about 23cmlong x17 cm tall x 9 cm wide. This is heavy-about 3 kgs (close to 6.6 lbs)

It is in excellent condition. It will be packed carefully and shipped via EMS express post which includes tracking and insurance. 

*******SHIPPING******

PLEASE NOTE: If you are in Africa or a South American country that isn't listed please contact me before buying as I will need to calculate the shipping for your country. I will cancel the order if you don't contact me first because the shipping you pay under "everywhere else" won't be enough to ship to your country. Thanks for understanding.
