Weeb shit from japan

actually describe what it is you pissant
ok fine

way back when the japanese government was getting pissy about foreign influences and banned all foreign people and things 5ever!!!!1111, unfortunately this included your standard 52 card playing decks that the spanish brought, and those where stupid popular, something had to be done

the solution
they made their own deck! Without blackjack and with hookers!

they based it off of the 12 seasons and plants (hanafuda translating to "flower cards"), and did 4 cards per suit coming to 48 cards in a deck, and then made games using said deck like koi koi

also nintendo got their start making them

yes, that nintendo, they still sell them to.
