Yoshibayama1957 Suna 7 Set
Description: This is a nice set from 1957. Menko from this set came in sheets that had to be cut by the children when they bought them. This set is very similar to the 1956 and 1959 Sagari 7 set. Two key menko are Maegashira Hirakagawa and Maegashira Yasome. They both were Maegashira less than two years and they were ranked very low at that. These are the only few menko I've seen of these two! Also, this is the last year before retirement for Yokozuna Yoshibayama and the last year for Ozeki Wakanohana before he got promoted to Yokozuna.
