"Iroha Karuta" (Japanese: ) is an easier-to-understand matching game for children, similar to Uta-garuta but with 96 cards. Instead of poems, the cards represent the 47 syllables of the hiragana syllabary and adds "kyō" (, "capital") for the 48th (since the syllable "-n" can never start any word or phrase). It uses the old iroha ordering for the syllables which includes two obsolete syllables, "wi" () and "we" (). A typical "torifuda" features a drawing with a "kana" at one corner of the card. Its corresponding "yomifuda" features a proverb connected to the picture with the first syllable being the "kana" displayed on the "torifuda". There are 3 standard Iroha Karuta variants: Kamigata, Edo and Owari. Each variant has its own set of proverbs based on the local dialect and culture. The Kamigata or Kyoto version is the oldest but the Edo version is the most widespread, being found all over Japan. The Owari variant existed only during the latter half of the 19th-century before being supplanted by the Edo version.
