About Us
The London Karuta Club was formed at University College London in 2016 and has held regular practice sessions ever since. Members have included locals, Japanese expats to the UK, international students, and holidaymakers from mainland Europe that wished to catch a practice session or two during their stay in London.
As the only Karuta club in the UK, and one of the few in Europe, we are proud to promote the game and foster further cultural exchange between the UK and Japan.
We are registered as an official club via the All-Japan Karuta Association.
The London Karuta Club and Karuta UK are currently synonymous.
