This document discusses traditional toys in Japan, specifically a card game called Menko that children have played for centuries. Menko is similar to the American game of Pong, where cardboard or paper cards are thrown down and players try to flip over their opponent's cards. As toys can be expensive, Japanese children often make their own Menko cards out of materials like cardboard or construction paper. The game is described as a traditional and beloved pastime for Japanese children, who enjoy both playing it and creating their own cards.
