History
* Japan banned numerous card games but the game of Hanafuda, a card game using illustrations instead of numbers for the gameplay, was allowed.
* However, the game gradually fell unpopular.
* Young entrepreneur, Fusajiro Yamauchi, came up with a new approach to increase the games’ popularity.
Hanafuda
The beginning….
* In 1889, he opened doors to his first Hanafuda card shop, Nintendo Koppai, a name that would change simply to Nintendo as the company grew and evolved
* The Nintendo hand-painted Hanafuda cards were a hit and not only spun the newly formed company into success, but grew the card game in popularity as well.
Its’ development….
* Business started off slow until Yakuza adopted Nintendo Hanafuda cards in high stake gambling
* Had to hire employees to help draw the cards because of the increase demand.
* Began opening stores in other locations in Japan.
Nintendo Headquarters
* Did not have a son to take over the family business so following common Japanese tradition, he adopted his son-in-law, Sekiryo Yamauchi.
* In 1929, at the age of 70, Fusajiro finally retired, leaving his company in the charge of his adopted son-in-law Sekiryo Kaneda (who changed his name to Sekiryo Yamauchi).
* Fusajiro would never know that the company he founded would expand to break new ground for a different kind of game four decades later with the Nintendo Entertainment System.
* Fusajiro suffered a stroke in 1940 and died
