I have been watching Chihayafuru recently which focus on Karuta and the Hyakunin Isshu poems, then Conan movie 21 was about them too!

So they recently made Detective Conan Hyakunin Isshu, and I am curious to see what poem they picked for whom, I don’t really know Japanese but I tried to figure out which poems were on the sample image, feel free to correct me if I got something wrong.

Ofcourse the one I was the most curious about is Amuro, and I absolutely love this poem!!! Though I kinda laughed when I first read it, like I bet they chose that one because it has the word “hate”, lol, though the name part would be accurate too, since I don’t think Amuro has the best reputation in the show! 😂 That being said, the poem was apparently written by a woman who lost her social standing because of love.

Both of them had sleeves, apparently they used to use that expression a lot, though this poem was harder to understand, I looked it up and apparently it is about a priest making a vow, and what comes to mind is Akai protecting Hibara because he promised her sister? also I really love the “Unworthy” and “Black sleeves” use in this.

The pictures though, I feel like they could have picked a better matching pics for these poems! XD
