In Junior Hanafuda, mōn for each suit are placed in the corners as indices, while the kind of the card is depicted with the color and pattern surrounding the mōn in the center.

Junior Hanafuda is poker size and the card back design feels both classic and entirely new, exhibiting plants and animals similar in theme but not typically found in hanafuda. It features bamboo along the edges, sparrows in the corners, and Mt. Fuji in the center.

The result is a hanafuda deck unlike any other. Each deck includes 56 cards. In every deck, there are 48 standard cards along with some bonus cards that allow you to play with up to 4 players. While no instructions are included with the deck itself, rules for various games can be viewed on and printed from the Junior website: junior.cards
