[edit] Merge

I think the two articles should be merged- the Uta one is next to impossible to find or link correctly, and it would be better in context in this article. --maru (talk) Contribs 01:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Similarly, I just wrote obake karuta. I wonder if all karuta games should be merged into this article until such a time as they grow big enough to warrant splitting (per Wikipedia:Summary style). I don't know enough about karuta to decide, though. Opinions? — BrianSmithson 20:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Both should probably be merged and redirected into Karuta. MikeDockery 01:37, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I think the page "Uta-garuta" should not be merged with "Karuta" because of former's close association with Hyakunin isshu makes it more significant than "just another Karuta variation". Actually, I think "Uta-garuta" was the original form of the game, so if anything the information in "Karuta" should be merged into "Uta-garuta" as modern variations of the game. -- Meyer 09:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] katakana?

If the word "karuta" comes from the Portuguese "carta", shouldn't karuta be translated in katakana, and not hiragana like it is in the article?

No, karuta was imported so long ago that it was originally written with ate-ji and now most commonly with hiragana. The ja.WP page is headed "かるた（歌留多）". -- Meyer 09:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Western cards

The article states that Karuta may be played with two standard 52-card decks of playing cards. How? – Morganfitzp 02:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
