Cards!

I was wondering why the sign said "Karuta Manufacturer," since a certain anime I watched always referred to a specific type of Japanese card game as 'karuta.' But I noticed 'karuta' sounds a lot like 'card,' and sure enough, found out karuta just means 'card' because it's a loanword from Portuguese, carta.
