An event to commemorate the release of "Hanakin Karuta," created by stylist Kaji Yuta and illustrator Takeuchi Shuntaro, will be held at BEAMS T Harajuku on Friday, July 12th.
The event will sell "Hanakin Karuta," a karuta game that was serialized on the web of a certain men's fashion magazine and has gradually sparked a karuta boom in the public, as well as original items such as T-shirts and tote bags produced in collaboration between BEAMS T and TOKYO CULTUART by BEAMS. Don't miss the designs that incorporate the "Bi" picture cards and reading cards that were specially drawn for BEAMS.
In addition, on Friday, July 12th, from 18:30~/19:30~/19:45~, a karuta tournament will be held that anyone can participate in. All participants will receive a sticker of "Shi" (Shirite Kurokawa), Kaji Yuta and Takeuchi Shuntaro's favorite picture card. A flowery Friday full of emotion by these two who lived through the bubble era.
Please come along!

The term "Kakin" was coined in the late 80s and early 90s. It has been revived after about 30 years since then! According to the creator, "In this era when trends change quickly and it is difficult to predict the future, the idea of a tough, slightly insensitive and careless man who is the only one who continues to hold on to the values of the time without changing himself may be becoming new!"
"Kagine Karuta" is a karuta game that tells a story based on these values in alphabetical order. The illustrations are by the talented illustrator Shuntaro Takeuchi, and the text is by stylist Yuta Kaji. We asked Oishi Tengudo, a long-established karuta store, to produce "Kagine Karuta", which was created by these two people.
