1957 Sagari 7 Set

    Description:  This is a nice set from 1957 and is one of the hardest Sagari sets to find.  This set is very similar to the 1956 Sagari 7 and 1959 Sagari 7 set, except the back is printed in a dark grey ink.  So far, I've only been able to locate 4 menko from this set, but am sure this set features most of the popular rikishi of the era.
