About this Event

Hanafuda Hawaiʻi's founder, Helen Nakano, will tell us the story of Hanafuda Pilina. These cards turn the game of Hanafuda into a tale about the many different indigenous and invasive plants and animals in the Hawaiian Islands. After that, you'll get to learna nd play Hanafuda!

Did you know that the name Hanafuda translates to flower cards in Japanese, reflecting the beautiful floral designs that adorn each cards. The word Pilina for the Pilina Hanafuda cards come from the Hawaiian language meaning to bond or to connect, capturing the spirit of the game as a means of bringing people together with nature.
