  Iroha karuta consists of cards bearing proverbs and sayings whose initial morae correspond to the forty-seven kana of the traditional iroha sequence, such as “Inu mo arukeba bō ni ataru.” (Even a dog will run into a stick if it walks around. You never know what you might find if you go out.) The picture cards are spread out, and players compete to grab the card that matches the one being read aloud. — Jreibun
