Rikidozan Azumafuji Vintage Japanese Menko Card Pro Wrestling Sumo Showa Japan Description This listing is for one authentic vintage Japanese menko card featuring the famous professional wrestler Rikidozan and the sumo grand champion Azumafuji.
Menko are traditional Japanese paper game cards that were widely played by children during the Showa era. Because these cards were originally produced as play items rather than long-term collectibles, surviving examples have become desirable pieces among collectors of vintage Japanese toys, sports memorabilia, and paper ephemera. The artwork shows the historic figures Rikidozan and Azumafuji, both important figures in mid-20th century Japanese sports history. Rikidozan is widely known as the pioneer of professional wrestling in Japan, while Azumafuji was a Yokozuna grand champion in sumo wrestling. Items depicting these early sports icons are appreciated by collectors of wrestling history and traditional Japanese memorabilia. This is an original vintage item produced in Japan and not a reproduction, reprint, or modern copy.
