The competition is called Kyogi Karuta and played by the rule established by All-Japan Karuta Association. Karuta is a Japanese card game, but Kyogi Karuta is a kind of sports. Karuta players take the card at lightning speed.

This competition uses one hundred waka poem cards based on Ogura Hyakunin-isshu which is a famous poetry anthology selected by Fujiwarano Teika in the Heian period.
