Karuta (カルタ金, karuta-gane)[1] was a type of armour worn by samurai warriors and their retainers during the feudal era of Japan. The word karuta comes from the Portuguese word meaning "card" (carta),[2] as the small square or rectangular plates that compose the armour resemble traditional Japanese playing cards.
