1955 Renga 9 Set

    Description:  This set is the most awesome set I've run across.  The menko are 1/8" thick and are printed with gold ink!  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 Wakanohana as a Sekiwake!
