1955 Kagome Renga 10 Set

    Description:  This set another version of the Renga or Brick sets.  The menko are 1/8" thick.  These would have been the ultimate slammer menko!  They are extremely heavy as well.  I wish I had more of the menko from this set.  The menko shown here don't look to have much game use and rightfully so as they probably cost some child a pretty yen or two.  This set has one of Tochinishiki's first Yokozuna menko!
