The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Playing cards were introduced to Japan by Portuguese traders during the mid-16th century.
- The earliest indigenous karuta were made in the town of Miike in Chikugo Province at around the end of the 16th century.
- The Miike karuta Memorial Hall located in Ōmuta, Fukuoka, is the only municipal museum in Japan dedicated specifically to the history of karuta.

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Karuta article was read about 64,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
