Are Nagano Residents Really That Serious? The Ruta Exhibition
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Nagano Prefecture, we are holding a “Karuta Exhibition” that showcases the beloved, earnest spirit of the prefecture’s residents.
The humor and charm of earnest people.
The endearing quality that shines through their single-minded dedication.
Behind that earnestness lies charm—it’ll make you chuckle.
At the venue, you can enjoy in-depth explanations and even try your hand at creating your own original karuta cards on the spot.
Please come see the large karuta cards lined up in a row. (I’m asking this quite seriously.)
The endearing earnestness of Nagano residents, captured in karuta.
