Rough translation: "To enable the distribution of the Hanafuda playing cards abroad, Sekiryo Yamauchi founded a new corporation/company (not entirely sure on this one) named Marufuku Co. Ltd (丸福) in 1947 which later was renamed "Karuta Nintendo Co. Ltd.". Source: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo#1889.E2.80.931970 |
Interesting, the english wiki says nothing of that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo#As_a_card_company_.281889.E2.80.931956.29
I didn't know Nintendo re-made themselves in 1947. I thought they had been the same company since 1889.
