English: Japanese Hana Karuta (flower playing cards) hand-painted by Tosa Mitsunari no later than 1705, likely in the Genroku period (1688-1704). A predecessor of modern hanafuda cards. The card set likely consisted of 400 cards: 100 flowers or plants with 4 cards each (two regular cards depicting only a plant, one card depicting a tanzaku paper slip, and one more ornate card usually depicting a bird or another animal). The writings on the cards are the name of the plant.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
