Mainichi Hanafuda: chrysanthemum
It is fitting that my final suit should be for the current month (September). These two cards portray a chrysanthemum junk (left) and on the right, the final "animal" card, which is again not an animal, but rather a saké cup. Can anyone tell me what the kanji means? I came up empty on searches, although I did see the same symbol on real actual saké drinking cups.
These flowers are based on tattoo designs, because I didn't like the other hanafuda chrysanthemum images at all. These are nice and bloomy and colorful.

That character reads "kotobuki," which means congratulations. It is common in wedding and new year items.
You can see a plain version on about.com

Really interesting thanks for the information, my new year celebration are very similar to the japanese people I'm not asian or something, or a fan, It just happen on day.
I think that the tattoos are so good, I got 10 , all of them have an important meaning to me, the flowers is a female tattoo, I think so!
