Musings #26: Help Me Identify This #Karuta Deck

IMG_20151103_120929Is there anyone out there who can read japanese and can identify these cards?    I know some hiragana, but obviously that doesn’t help when you are only at the “my name is” stage!    I got the set for free.   I thought they were iroha karuta, but they are double sided.

Sorry, the left one is upside down!

Hiragana sentences are on the back…no separate reading cards; a few are missing.   Each red card has a black duplicate.   The black cards have kanji in the upper right; the red cards have hiragana.  The red cards have much longer phrasing with kanji too on the back written in black ink.  The black cards have short hiragana-only sentences written in red ink.  I am pretty sure the phrases are proverbs.  I can’t read kanji, but I think the right card says, ” ton de hi ni iru natsu no mushi.”

Anyone know what the name of this deck is?
