歌牌（かるた）是日本傳統卡牌遊戲，融合詩歌、記憶與反應力，最具代表性的是「百人一首」歌牌。玩家需根據朗讀的詩句，迅速找出對應卡片，既考驗記憶力，也講求速度與專注。這項遊戲不僅是娛樂，更是文化傳承，讓古典文學在遊戲中延續，成為連結語言、歷史與競技精神的經典形式。

Karuta is a traditional Japanese card game that combines poetry, memory, and reflexes, most famously represented by the “Hyakunin Isshu” set. Players listen to verses being read aloud and quickly identify the corresponding card, testing both recall and speed. More than a game, karuta serves as a cultural bridge, preserving classical literature while transforming it into a dynamic and competitive experience.
