1956 Marusan Jyunishi Nagai 3-5-6 Set

    Description:  This is another popular set from 1956.  It is difficult to find these menko in great condition as they were popular and commonly used in games.  This set has the Chinese Zodiac animals on the back of the menko.  This set is similar to the 1956 Marusan Jyunishi Nagai Bromide 3-6 Set, except the menko here are in color and not B/W.  This is a nice clean set as it isn't loaded down with a bunch of distracting statistics and pictures.  This set also has a lot of low ranking Maegashira and cards of certain Rikishi only are found in this set such as Fukunoumi and Dewanohana.
