Here are some thoughts about how Sensei built up the paired card theory for Taichihaya:

The first hint we get that Chihaya herself sees Tachi and Chiha as paired cards is here

When she lays out her placement, she looks for her card and automatically looks for Tachi because it's her paired card, but not only. Chihaya feels like Tachi = Taichi is the other half of her pair

She refers to this moment with the word "futari" that literally means "a couple", "pair" in Japanese. The fact that she started the club with Taichi together, made her feel like he was a part of it all. Her happiest moments are in the Mizusawa clubroom.

When Taichi leaves it's like a part of her is amputated. Her teacher tells her to study

Chihaya finally truly "feels" in her skin and bones the emotions described in the Kaze poem....she feels like she broke Taichi and is falling apart herself. She directly connected to the poem and the emotions of the Poet for the first time. Beforehand she probably understood some poems but it never hit her deep in the heart as the moment Taichi left.

This is when we see her starting to miss Chiha but Taichi seems to always come around at moments she is at loss, like in the third year nationals, him helping out the karuta club at the karaoke and Chihaya with her mother.

By the time of the qualifiers we get the subtle hint that she looks for Tachi/Taichi after looking for Chiha (don't you look for the card of the person you love most? Like Taichi always looks for Chiha). At the challenger we are more and more confronted with Chihaya's feelings overflowing for Taichi. Her heart probably chose but her brain still needed to process and put a word on those feelings

When the finals begin, Chihaya looks for Taichi again...what is interesting is that in this moment we could actually chant poem 16

Chihaya needs him there, she wants him to come. That is what she wanted to ask him most at the New Year's shrine. "Please come Taichi"

Taichi on his side is struggling with his own painful feelings. Again here we could almost chant the Chiha poem, the hidden feelings of Narihara being represented by Taichi. Taichi has no idea how much Chihaya longs for him and still thinks she's meant to be with Arata. He is his worst enemy.

In chapter 234 Taichi finally comes to the venue. We sort of get the first teaser about "paired cards"....(although there already was a mention of Tachi and Chiha being a pair when Nishida spoke with Chihaya about having crutches to remember poems) and Chihaya's flustered thoughts that lead to the realisation that Taichi had always been with her, even if he wasn't there physically, he was her biggest support mentally. It's the thought of Taichi that gives her strength.

By the time we get here, it's clear. Tachi was the one paired up with Chiha. Not only in the Hyakunin Isshu but Chihaya's own pov confirms what she always felt from the moment she started the club with Taichi: he was the one always by her side, literally and metaphorically, 16 & 17 together since over 1000 years and more.

Chihaya finally ends up being able to express her own deep feelings she had hidden in her heart for the longest time, finally realising all her feelings for Taichi were simply love, confessing in their special place, their safe haven, their happiest unforgettable memories which bound them together for the future to come. An amazing way of writing romance and coming of age.

Hanakotoba in Hitomebore (一目惚れ) - Chihayafuru (ちはやふる) ED3

Chihaya Ayase 綾瀬 千早 | Cosmos 宇宙

The Cosmos flower is known as Kosumosu (宇宙) in Japan and typically blooms from June to November. The Cosmos flower's name is derived from the Greek word "Kosmos" meaning harmony and order. This has contributed to the flower coming to symbolise harmony, beauty and peace. The delicate and clean appearance of the Cosmos flower has contributed towards it additionally symbolizing cleanliness, purity, beauty and modesty. The Cosmos flower is also said to represent a maiden's sincerity, heart as well as "the joys that love and life can bring".

Chihaya is best described as a tomboyish, outgoing and ambitious girl who is good-natured, easy-going and straightforward. This fits in with the Cosmos' meanings of harmony, purity and sincerity. She can be described as simple-minded as she is generally relatively absent-minded and oblivious (especially to the feelings of others)—however she remains very optimistic, driven and trusting. This resonates with Cosmos flower representing the heart as well as the "joys that love, and life can bring". Although Chihaya is described as being pretty, fitting in with the flower's meaning of beauty, she is often labeled as a "beauty in vain". This description stems from the fact that her overly energetic attitude and tomboyish behavior doesn't "match" with her looks.

Taichi Mashima 真島 太一 | Red Spider Lily 彼岸花

Lycoris radiata (Red Spider Lily) is called Higanbana (彼岸花) in Japan. This name stems from the flower's flowering period coinciding with the equinoctial week of autumn. The plant's poisonous nature is also speculated to have contributed towards it's name—as "Higan" also means death—as well as its meaning. The Higanbana is said to symbolize death, final goodbyes, lost or sad memories, abandonment and giving up. While the flower mostly bares ominous connotations—its bright, red colour has contributed towards it being considered as auspicious sign and "celestial flower". It thus also represents passion and independence.

While Taichi is viewed by others as a smart, talented and hard-working individual—he is somewhat easily disheartened. When faced with difficult situations, he often under-estimates himself and considers giving up—especially in regard to karuta and his rivalry with Arata. This fits in with the Higanbana's meanings of loss and giving up. However, his confidence grows as he continues to play karuta and he grows into a strong adversary, having gained everything through his own skill and hard work rather than luck. These qualities resonate with the red spider lily's meanings of passion and independence. After confessing his long-standing, romantic feelings for his childhood friend, Chihaya, he quits their school karuta club. This ties in with the flower's meanings of abandonment and parting.

Arata Wataya 綿谷 新 | Wisteria 藤

Wisteria is known as Fuji (藤) in Japan and generally flowers from April to May. The flower is said to mainly symbolize longevity, immortality and nobility in Japanese culture. Wisteria can also represent honour, endurance, wisdom, steadfastness and support. Other meanings include kindness, tenderness and sensitivity. The plant's tendency to grip tightly to trees in order to grow up straight has led to it coming to mean an unwillingness to let go or being drunk in love. 

Arata is best described as being kind, caring, quiet and passionate about playing karuta. This resonates with the flower's meanings of kindness and tenderness. He is incredibly intelligent and serious. Although he is somewhat lacking in confidence is not meek. This fits with Wisteria's meanings of wisdom, steadfastness, support. Arata is shown to be relatively perceptive having figured out Taichi's feelings for Chihaya and although he is Taichi's rival he willingly kept the fact that Taichi tried to sabotage him in their elementary school karuta match a secret from her in order to maintain Taichi's standing in her eyes. This fits in with the flower's meanings of honour, sensitivity, support kindness and tenderness. In the karuta world Arata is somewhat considered nobility as his grandfather was a master which ties in with Wisteria's association with nobility. Despite not getting an answer from Chihaya after his confession, he remains patient and when she later clarifies that she isn't currently focused on love but is instead devoted to karuta; he decides to wait until she is ready declaring that he will "try again". This resonates with Wisteria's meanings of steadfastness, sensitivity and an unwillingness to let go. 

P.S:

Cherry Blossoms are known as Sakura (桜) in Japan and are considered the nation's de facto national flower. The flower is an important part of Japanese culture and thus bares many meanings Generally cherry blossoms are said to represent the gentleness, spiritual beauty and good education. They bloom for an incredibly short period of time anywhere from March to April. Since cherry blossoms bloom after the cold, harsh winter; they herald the coming of spring and represent hope, renewal and optimism. The fleeting yet incredible splendor beauty of this flower has given inspired it's notable meanings of the "acceptance of destiny and karma" as well as the "transience of life".

P.S.S: I left a funny short story about why it took me so long to do this post in the tags but there is a spoiler for the manga about the endgame ship in it ... Also, this is only based on developments in the anime as well as the limited spoilers I've come across—since I haven't read the manga...

[otaku-shipper]

Chihaya was listening to Tare when Taichi found her in high school. It was the same poem that secured her first win against Shinobu. Taichi's love was described as Shinoburedo and Koi su cho by Kana-chan--poems that talk about a strong love that cannot be hidden. Yura was the last poem read in their 2nd-year nationals competition, the card that Taichi offered to the gods and staked all his good fortune into while wishing for Chihaya to wake up and witness his fate. The Kaze wo poem provided the words of allegory for the heartbreak Chihaya experienced at Taichi's departure. Se was the poem Chihaya sent to Taichi on their 3rd-year regionals, a poem about asking fate for a chance to meet again. It was only when Chihayaburu was recited when Chihaya noticed Taichi's arrival in their 3rd-year nationals. Despite its disappearance, she thought it was okay as long as Taichi was with her. The same poem also helped Taichi win against Sudo despite disassociating himself from it; and against Arata's strong defense, leading to his first win against him. Fu was Taichi's second-best take from Arata, moving Chihaya to tears. It was also Chihaya's first card she took like a real karuta player and what Taichi admired ever since. Kimi ga tame described Taichi's secret support for Chihaya in the Queen match, collecting the 7 green herbs that symbolize luck for her. Chihaya took Su, a poem she described as "romantic", during her first realization that Taichi has always been with her, which happened after she recalled the memory of Taichi saying his feelings for her might fade away someday. Su was also the poem Taichi used to communicate with her during the Qualifier, motivating her not to give up despite having trouble with Makino-san’s reading. Tachi was the card Chihaya voluntarily kept and was the card of fate, winning her the Queen title. On the fusuma, Tachi is a poem that has always been a pair for Chiha for a thousand years. Tachi, the poem that reaffirmed Chihaya’s belief that Taichi is constantly with her from the very beginning. Chihaya described Taichi’s confession to her as a poem until it was her turn to recite her own poem to him with the simple words of “I love you”. 

Can Taichihaya get any more poetic than this???!!!

#chihayafuru #taichihaya #all these poems woven together to tell their story i cry #the fact that all of them (except for tare) are LOVE POEMS you gotta envy them #if i missed a poem do tell #chihaya ayase #taichi mashima

Well almost I hope you enjoy! Open it up to fully see cause it's LONG (Notes at the end of the edit)

Want to add: Yes, I made some creative choices with this and I know that the omake doesn’t count but let me have the little bit that Sensei showed us when they are dating ok!😭 We won’t get anything else so let me have this. I am really glad to be done with this project even though I am proud of it cause I really have no eyes left it took so much work. But it was worth it and I really wanted to do something like this. Eventually I want to see if I can even print it (cause the file is way too big I would have to go somewhere to get it made like a banner lol. But I'll work on it we shall see! ❤️
