Outline

Musashifutyukyodokaruta card games have been distributed to third graders at elementary schools in the city since they first came out in 1973, but are now no longer in use. In this context, the think tank behind this project aims to use“Kyodo karuta” (card games based on local areas) to promote interest in Fuchu’s history, culture, and nature among parents and children, and to create lasting happy memories for children who will go on to become the movers and shakers of Fuchu City in the future. In addition, the group aims to educate local people about their city and foster affection in them for their hometown as a way of encouraging them to continue protecting community projects/activities and assets for future generations.
