1941 Rikishi 5 Set
Description: This is one of about a dozen or so "human" sets produced in the 1930's and early 1940s. This style of sets was common during this era and fortunately leads to easy identification of the year each was produced. These sets are different than the similar "human" ones produced in the mid 1950's in the fact that the faces of the rikishi are drawn in these instead of a photo superimposed over the body. This set has some nice non-Yokozuna menko of Maedayama and Terukuni and a really rare Juryo menko featuring Masuiyama.
Company: Unknown Availability: Rare

Front Design: This set features a drawing of the Rikishi in their Kesho-Mawashi.
Back Design: Rikishi's shikona is in big bold kanji in the middle of the menko. Weight is along the bottom left and height is in the bottom right. The rikishi's rank is in the upper right and a war themed word is in the upper left. I'm not sure what is in the very top in the circle that is divided in half. A 5 digit is along the very bottom. Backs are printed in blue ink.
