Vintage Japanese Animal Game Sheet-Perforated Cards

This large size vintage Japanese game sheet contains 55 perforated, but un-punched cards. They are similar to menko cards with an animal image, a playing card, a numerical value and some Japanese characters on the front. The backs are printed in a blue ink design. I'm not sure how you would play with these cards, perhaps the Japanese instructions on the back of the larger center card would give us a hint.

Each animal pictured is seen in four different forms. We have snakes, wart hogs, dogs, monkeys, horses, dragons and sea horses, tigers, rabbits, mice, cows, and lions. They ususally appear dressed and engaging in human like behaviors.

The whole sheet is in excellent condition, un-used.
