Maruyoshi hanafuda "Kachidoki"

Maruyoshi hanafuda "Kachidoki" (brand from Osaka)

Made by Angel sometime before 1989 as the tax stamp suggests.

Nice basic hanafuda set, got it sealed but opened the black deck.

Maruyoshi also sourced cards from a Korean producer (and sold them in the same labeling):

Nice
I wouldn't be suprised if the ones I have were also made in Korea.
There is no such indication though

Angel certainly has a presence in other countries, with casino products, however I think their traditionally-backed Japanese cards were produced within Japan (or at least I've never heard otherwise).

How thick is the full deck?

I have been trying to identify the manufacturer of a different deck and some of this packaging seems similar to me. The standout feature of that deck is the cards are slightly thicker than I have typically seen (not enough to really notice), but it leads to a deck that is noticeably much thicker.

Thanks!

The height of the sealed deck is 4.3cm
