Actually, Hanafuda is an important part of the plot in this movie, as it plays the role of tradition coming to the rescue of high-tech modernity. It has come out on DVD in France, with French, Dutch and Spanish subs (if any can also be useful to you), but unfortunately, no English subs. There is an American edition due to come out on February 15, 2011, which definitely has English subs: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Wars-Michael-Sinternicklaas/dp/B004DMIIVO/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1293704489&sr=1-2">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Wars-Michael-Sinternicklaas/dp/B004DMIIVO/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1293704489&sr=1-2</a>. Besides this movie, I don’t have any other example to offer. Actually, I didn’t know at all about Hanafuda until I watched Summer Wars. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I hope this helps somehow! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Ariane Beldi<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Ph.D. candidate<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Doctoral school in Media & Communication Studies<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>University of Geneva, Switzerland<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>________________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:Beldi9@etu.unige.ch">Beldi9@etu.unige.ch</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:Ariane.beldi@live.com">Ariane.beldi@live.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="http://abeldirew.wordpress.com">http://abeldirew.wordpress.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>De :</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> owner-KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu [mailto:owner-KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-sta</span><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>te.edu] <b>De la part de</b> Frances Loden<br><b>Envoyé :</b> mardi 28 décembre 2010 07:20<br><b>À :</b> KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu<br><b>Objet :</b> Hanafuda movies<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>What's a decent Japanese film that features a hanafuda (flower card) game<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>in which we can clearly see the cards and which figures in the plot somehow?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Ideally the film would be available on DVD and have English subtitles.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Frako Loden<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Berkeley, CA<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
