Pokemon Hanafuda

I love how One Piece references historical moments. I just did some digging into the historical relations between Japan and Portugal.

When Portuguese traders went to Japan in the mid-16th century, they introduced them to Playing Cards. The Portuguese were also known to have Dragons illustrated on their Ace Cards (Ace of Swords). This inspired Japan to make Hanafuda Cards.

In One Piece, Portgas D. Ace defeats Hanafuda and visits Wano. And Kaido (a Dragon) is captain of the Beast Pirates, who are named after Playing Cards and Games.

Also, in Hanafuda there are 12 suits that represent the months. The ninth suit is the Chrysanthemum, also known as Kiku 菊 - きく. This represents September.

So I drew Page One, the Son of Hanafuda, teaching Hanafuda to Kiku. This was the extra cover story.

My Hanafuda collection grows! I got a limited edition deck designed by CLAMP. I love their artwork (easily one of the top for me), so this was an easy purchase to make haha. Although this deck focused on xxxHOLiC, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and RG Veda.

While I was drawing Emi, I had this idea in my head and was like “hey what if I drew Randy, the First Ninja and Emi as Hanafuda cards?” So yeah it’s not the best execution but maybe an updated version will make them look more cool.
