1951 Rikishi 5 Set

    Description:  A typical Rikishi Set that came in sheet and had a larger menko attached to the sheet.  This was done on several Rikishi series sets from the late 1930s to the early 1950s although it is rare to find the bigger ones as they would have been easier to damage because of their size.
