Hokkaido-ben karuta cards for a former student

And today I visited a different friend, also a former student. She's not entering university, in fact she and her husband are now enjoying retirement. She's still got a bit of an old-fashioned Japanese flair -- staying at her house was like staying at a traditional Japanese ryokan (inn).

ONE GOOD DEED: Give a former student a set of karuta cards themed with Hokkaido-ben (Hokkaido dialect, which provokes the same giggles as any good regional accent in America).
