RE: Iroha Karuta 14.2: Hey Frog-Face - Have Some Water! 💧🐸🌊

that's such a cute illustration! I didn't know you could get those cute karuta in daiso!
the poem is cute! when i asked my Japanese partner about the poem, he quickly referred to the frog's head rather than face but later on, he changed it to face. i guess it's interchangeable?

Sort:  

Oh yes! Great value for money, eh! I have no idea who the artist is, but every illustration offers a fun and lighthearted take on the proverbs.

As for whether "tsura" refers to the face or head, I guess that depends on context. It would be quite blunt to talk about a human's face ("kao") as a "tsura" - maybe like using the work "mug" for face in English (??), but it is the common word for an animal's face, it seems.
