According to Japanese media reports, the new Japanese banknotes to be circulated in 2024 officially began printing at the Tokyo factory of the National Printing Bureau on September 1.
This is another change in the design of paper money in Japan since 2004, and the physical object of the new version of 10000 yen paper money was disclosed for the first time on the same day.
The new version of 10000 yen adopts the head image of “Shibuya Rongyi”, an entrepreneur known as the father of Japanese capitalism, which is the first time in the world to use 3D image rotation hologram technology on paper money.
This technology appears on paper money and is even difficult to imagine. It is a real “black technology”!
Using 3D holographic projection, the whole head of the portrait appears on the paper money. In other words, this 3D technology can not only let us see the face of the portrait, but also the side head!
As shown in the picture, such as this picture, 3D holographic technology can be seen from the front and side
In addition, the new version of banknotes also prints the denomination of 10000 larger, maximizing the Arabic numerals and replacing the Japanese characters representing the denomination, so that people with bad eyes can know the amount of banknotes even if they touch them with their hands.
It also makes it easier for foreigners in non Chinese character circle countries to identify the amount of yen and comply with the wave of internationalization.
The design patterns changed this time are 10000 yen, 5000 yen and 1000 yen notes respectively, and the 2000 yen notes with relatively small circulation have not changed.
The new 10000 yen note uses a portrait of the industrialist Rongyi Shibuya, known as the “father of Japanese capitalism”.
Shibuya Rongyi was a great industrialist in the Meiji and Taisho periods of Japan. It has the titles of “father of Japanese enterprises”, “king of Japanese finance”, “leader of modern Japanese economy”, “father of Japanese capitalism” and “father of modern Japanese industry”.
The new version of 5000 yen is Tsuda Meizi, the founder of Tsuda Shuo University.
Tsuda Meizi was a pioneer in women’s education during the Meiji Taisho Period in Japan and the founder of Tsuda Shuo University. She was unmarried all her life and devoted herself to women’s higher education, which brought about the reform of women’s status in the society.
The new version of 1000 yen is Kitasaki, a Japanese bacteriologist and immunologist who has established serum therapy.
Baron kitazaro is a Japanese doctor, a famous bacteriologist and immunologist in Japan. It has opened up a new scientific field of serology for Japan.
Among them, the portrait on the front of the 10000 yen note was replaced for the first time in 40 years since Prince St. de became Yuki Fukuzawa in 1984.
The back of the 10000 yen note has also changed from Phoenix to Marunouchi station building in Tokyo station, the back of the 5000 yen note has changed from swallow flower to Wisteria flower, and the back of the 1000 yen note has changed from Mount Fuji and cherry blossom to the representative work in the 36 scenes of Fuyue created by Ge Zui Beizhai, shennaichuan surfing.
In addition, Japan will issue new 500 yen coins in 2021.
In order to prevent counterfeiting, the design of Japanese paper money is changed about every 20 years. The portrait of the new banknote is a three-dimensional image regenerated by holographic technology. At the same time, in order to facilitate the use of people of all ages, the concept of “universal design” is also introduced.
But as soon as the news of the new note came out, it seemed that Japanese netizens were not satisfied with the design of the new note and disliked that the design of the new note was too ugly. They also personally operated knives and modified the portraits according to their preferences.
Netizen @bokoyai changed the 1000 yuan note into the 2000 yuan note of the cat. It’s cute and super good-looking!
Another Japanese designer @ ponkchim said on Twitter: I saw that someone said it would be good if there were firewood dog banknotes, so I tried to draw them. It’s really a super healing banknote!
Do you think the new Japanese banknotes look good?
