They made Hanafuda cards and toys.
Actually, I think they had some kind of history with the Yakuza.

I looked up the cards - they are beautiful!

I also looked up the tie with the Yakuza:

The yakuza and hanafuda are basically baked into each other:

The name "yakuza" comes from the cards. The word comes from yattsu-ku-san (8-9-3), the worst possible hand in Oicho-Kabu, a blackjack-like game played with a hanafuda deck. Card players used "yakuza" to mean "useless" or "worthless" — and the outcasts who played those cards for a living just... adopted it. So the name of the Japanese mafia literally comes from a bad hand of flower cards.

Very interesting!

No sushi, and the fish are caught only to release again in the fwishing well. Where you can make a fwish.
