About Cards from Japan

Cards from Japan is an independent, English-language guide to Japanese-language trading cards, written for collectors in the United States and other countries.

What we cover

Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Gundam, Weiss Schwarz, Dragon Ball and Union Arena cards printed in Japan: how to identify them, how they differ from English releases, how grading works, and how to buy them from Japan or in person at card shops in Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka.

How the guides are written

Each guide is written from the official pages of the card game, grading company or marketplace it describes, and lists those pages under Sources. Shop pages are checked against each shop's official listing.

What we are not

Cards from Japan is not a store, a grading service or an appraiser, and it is not affiliated with any game publisher, shop or grading company.

How the site is funded

Some links to retailers and services are affiliate links; the site may earn a commission when a purchase is made through them. See the Disclosure.
