1962 Maruta Kimarite 7 Set

    Description:  This is a tough set to find by the Maruta Gangu Company as it was at the end of the sumo menko era and so not many kids were buying menko any more.  This has a nice and clean design to it, but unfortunately it is too clean as no rank, shikona or any identifying words are on it that tells you who the rikishi are.
