Am primit cărți de joc cu samurai! Acestea sunt reproduceri în stilul Kassen Emaki care s-ar traduce: kassen ( 合戦 - bătălie, război) și emakimono (scroll ilustrat). Emakimono este un stil de pictură japonez apărut în secolul VIII, în perioada Nara (Nara Jidai) compus din serii de scene sau povești ilustrate pe un pergament sau pânză din mătase. Se mai numește și simplu, emaki. Stilul emakimono a avut ca sursă de inspirație o metodă chinezească numită gakan sau zukan ce constă în ilustrarea unor legende pe role de hârtie însă ulterior s-a dezvoltat independent și în Japonia, această tehnică fiind adoptată în stilul propriu japonez.
