       | > In 1648, Tensho Karuta were banned by the Tokugawa
       | shogunate.[13] During prohibition, gambling with cards remained
       | highly popular which led to disguised card designs. Each time
       | gambling with a card deck of a particular design became too
       | popular, the government banned it, which then prompted the
       | creation of a new design. This cat-and-mouse game between the
       | government and rebellious gamblers resulted in the creation of
       | increasingly abstract and minimalist regional patterns (Di Fang
       | Zha ). These designs were initially called Yomi Karuta after the
       | popular Poch-like game of Yomi which was known by the 1680s.[14]

       | The only way I can think of this being justified is if it's run
       | and controlled by the user themself so they can control what they
       | hear. Not to control how others speak.
