Hey, this article should be improved. It should provide history of cards. It should give number of cards in each set of cards. It should be translated in other languages.

There is no evidence of Chinese playing cards in Japan before the Meiji period

Since somebody keeps reinserting false information based on a flimsy source ("I saw it in a documentary on mahjong"), I want to post a source that firmly negates the idea that Chinese playing cards made it over to Japan during the sakoku period. https://japanplayingcardmuseum.com/1-1-1-1-noevidence-arrival-chinesecards/

Although originating from tiles, domino card games inspired the creation of a tile game, Digging Flowers.

That word Although puzzles me. Why should a tile origin make a tile game less likely? —Tamfang (talk) 20:33, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think it's just the order of events. The domino tiles came first. It was converted into domino cards. They came up with a fun game with those cards. Then they made tiles specifically for the new game. 172.56.87.124 (talk) 17:55, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
