1956 Renga 10-11-12-13 Set

    Description:  This set is another version of the Renga or Brick sets, but this one has rikishi of the past as well.  The menko are 1/8" thick.  These would have been the ultimate slammer menko!  They are extremely heavy as well.  Coloring is very nice on this set as well as the gold ink.  This would have cost a lot of yen back in 1956.
