Hanafuda

Various Nintendo hanafuda cards.

Hanafuda are popular playing cards that initiated in Japan. It didn't become very popular elsewhere, though is known for being the first product that Nintendo ever produced. Nintendo's hanafuda cards were handmade on mulberry tree bark. To this date, Nintendo still publishes the cards in Japan only (some even featuring popular Nintendo characters such as Mario and Yoshi, which are only available through Club Nintendo), though it can be assumed that they will discontinue soon as the business isn't very successful anymore. Nods to the games have been present in various video games, including Nintendo's Nintendo DS video game Clubhouse Games, in which hanafuda games could be played among various others.
