Cildren could learn the wisdom for living through a card game Iroha Karta Iroha-Karuta is a play appeared in Edo period (1603-1868). The game teaches children the wisdom for living and the inconsistencies with which we have nothing to do with. From Edo to Taisho period (1912-1926), there were published more than 40 variations of Iroha-Karuta. In the game, there're some controversial proverbs.
