(Note)

In this haiku, "karuta" means "hyakunin-isshu" （百人一首）, which is a set of cards consisting of one hundred poems by one hundred poets.

In the past, I used to play as a reader for such karutatori.

"Karutatori" is a game normaly played in New Year days.

In general, there is another kind of "karuta" called "iroha-karuta"（いろはかるた）, which is composed of cards with texts to be read and corresponding picture cards.
