Kai-awase
Kai-awase shells, Edo period
Kai-awase (貝合わせ) is a Japanese game with shells.
The shells in the inside would have elaborate paintings, often depicting scenes from the Tale of Genji.[1] The aim of the game was to find the other half that would fit.
The game of e-awase would develop from it later.
