This breathtaking shikishi (traditional Japanese autograph board) was hand painted by an artist, who signed his name and included his hanko stamp at lower left. Then, this work of art was signed in marking pen by 13 members of the 1966 Central League all star team. The numbers seen on the image are merely signature identifiers and are not part of the actual shikishi. The players who signed the shikishi are 1. Minoru Murayama (HOF) 2. Takeshi Koba (HOF) 3. Toshio Naka 4. Kazuyoshi Yamamoto 5. Tsuneo Horiuchi (HOF) 6. Yoshio Yoshida (HOF) 7. Kazuhiko Kondo 8. Kazuhiro Yamauchi (HOF) 9. Sadaharu Oh (HOF) 10. Shigeo Nagashima (HOF) 11. Katsura Yokomizo 12. Masaaki Mori (HOF) 13. Unknown. Autographed baseball shikishi with hand painted artistic backgrounds are quite rare!
