1954 Kagome Sensou Trump 8-9 Set

    Description:  Another nice set produced by Kagome.  Not much else is known about this set.  It seems to be a typical set of the mid 1950's with a good menko of future Yokozuna Wakanohana as a Sekiwake.  It also has an ultra rare menko of Nanatsuumi, a rikishi who only stayed in the Maegashira ranks for 3 tournaments and is amazingly captured in this set!
