Thanks for the translating; I was in the ballpark about it being a tournament.<br /><br />Sumo: thanks! It's possible it's pre-war.<br /><br />NPB: yeah, I was thinking about it being a university menko, and it's possible it's from a set with uni teams/players.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-36217674111091345032021-02-19T06:35:44.716-08:002021-02-19T06:35:44.716-08:00That last card reminds me of some generic Tokyo Bi...That last card reminds me of some generic Tokyo Big Six cards from the 1920's that I have although the backs are different.

Nice catch!<br /><br />That second menko is a beauty. The text on the flag uses older forms of kanji, the text along the top (read right to left) says "Youth baseball tournament" (青年野球大会 in modern kanji).
