I used to play this as a child! Had to memorize the poems or you’d lose out. As an adult, and often killing time while working on a story (think “stakeouts”), my colleagues and I would play Hanafuda which also had beautiful cards signifying poems (tanzaku). Koi-koi using Hanafuda was not an innocent game like Karuta, though. Money and valuables would exchange hands every night! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafuda
