Traditional Japanese game where a card is revealed from the top of draw pile and players try to find its pair from the cards laid on the table. Uta-garuta has first three lines of a tanka poem written on the cards in the draw pile and the last two lines on the cards laid on the table, these two cards form a pair. Another version, iroha/garuta, which is mostly played by children for education, has kana written on the other card and a poem or proverb starting with the same kana written on the other card.
