Thank you for watching Deep Japan channel.

Do you have to pay or register in order to watch tournament at Omi Jingu? Or visitors can just come in without notice?

[@lastsamuraikyoto]

I was just a visitor but I could see the tournament without any reservation.

[@Protector0ne]

Oh, I wonder if the cards get damaged easily because they are grabbed so aggressively… 😅

[@lastsamuraikyoto]

Thank you for watching. Those cards are made of paper but they are really hard.

[@nikikuriton]

I wondered the same. Also if anyone ever gets too rambunctious and hurts the other player?

[@lastsamuraikyoto]

It seems that they sometimes get hurt.

[@lastsamuraikyoto]

Hanafuda is for gambling. Hyakunin Isshu is more like literature.

[@lastsamuraikyoto]

Yes, they are really hard.
