Japan’s Ministry of Finance re- cently announced that the country’s three denomination of yen bills will be getting redesigns in 2024 On May 1, the ascension ceremony was held for Emperor Naruhito. However, the emperor’s enthronement ritual won’t take place until October, at which time the Japan Mint will be issuing two special coins to commemorate the historic event. The first of these is a two-tone 500-yen (US$4.60) coin, made of nickel and copper. The coin’s face depicts the Takamikura, the octagonal canopied dais and chair upon which the emperor sits as the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan are present- ed to him during the ceremony. Reverse side is h the imperial family’s chrysanthemum crest surrounded by a wreath made of branches of the Japanese cherry birch and Japanese rose (rosa rugosa). Ringing the coin’s surface is the in- scription “Nation of Japan, Reiwa Era First Year. The special 10,000-yen coin, bears a phoenix soaring above wispy clouds on its front, However, while the 500-yen coin can be obtained by request from banks for its face value of 500 yen, the 10,000-yen coin will actually cost you 140,555 yen.

Because the 20-gram (0.7-ounce) coin is made out of pure gold. 5 mil- lion 500-yen coins will be issued, along with 50,000 10,000-yen coins, with 30,000 of each offered in a two-coin, 142,593-yen set.

  • Masayoshi Amamiya: Should the Bank of Japan Issue a Digital Currency?
    July 5, 2019 Bank of Japan Should the Bank of Japan Issue a Digital Currency? Speech at a Reuters Newsmaker Event in Tokyo Masayoshi Amamiya Deputy Governor of the Bank of Japan (English translation based on the Japanese original) I. Introduction It is a great honor and pleasure for me to be able to speak to you today. In recent years, the environment surrounding Japan's payment and settlement systems has gone through various changes. On the demand side, consumers seek more convenient payment services, such as those available during the nighttime and on holidays or low-cost international remittance services. Diversified lifestyles and the spread of e-commerce businesses have contributed to this. On the supply side, new devices -- such as smartphones and IC cards -- enabling the public to access payment services have continued to expand. In addition to traditional financial institutions, non-bank firms with strong capabilities in information technologies, or so-called FinTech firms, have started to provide cashless payments services. As central banks have a responsibility to improve the safety and efficiency of payment and settlement systems, their future landscape in the digital age is an extremely important topic for us. In fact, whether central banks should issue digital currencies as a payment instrument substituting for cash (banknotes and coins) has become an important issue. Digital currencies issued by central banks are called "central bank digital currencies" (CBDCs). The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) conducted an interesting survey on central bank initiatives for CBDC (Figure 1). Among the 63 respondent central banks, about 70 percent are engaged in CBDC work, most of which is in the form of research/study or experiments/proof-of-concept.

  • THE UNIVERSITY of HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 Thesis Abstract This work presents a study of identity formation in migrants of Japanese and Okinawan descent who relocate from countries of South America to mainland Japan and to the island prefecture of Okinawa, initially to seek economic advantage. The migrants, called Nikkeijin, are predominantly progeny of earlier migrants from Japan to South America. In a cross-generational sense, they are return migrants. The ethnographic study, based on field research conducted in two sites on the mainland and in Okinawa, compares Nikkeijin experience and attitudes as they interact with native Japanese. Because of their Japanese background, Nikkeijin benefit from privileged visa status; nonetheless, in Japan they are treated as foreigners, and their identity diversifies. Nikkeijin are found to construct simultaneous social fields in both the country of departure and the new environment. This situation may be recognized through the concept of transnationalism. I argue that Nikkeijin self-identity can be multiple and flexible, and does not necessarily coincide with social identity. An increasing and officially promoted diasporic consciousness among migrants of Okinawan descent would seem to produce a different ethnic response to any on the mainland and a greater potential for integration. My thesis should contribute to the understanding of identity in Nikkeijin return migration.

  • Money in Modern Japan
    Money in Modern Japan Japan is one of the oldest states in the world: in over 2000 years the island nation has slowly and continuously developed culturally, socially, politically and economically into the country that it is today. It is characteristic that Japan never fell under the domination of a foreign power during this time – not until after World War II, however, when it was occupied by the Americans for some years (1945- 1952). That does not mean, of course, that no external influences were adopted. On the contrary: until the end of the Japanese Middle Ages (about 1200-1600), Japan was completely geared towards its great neighbor China. From there it adopted cultural, political and economic achievements, among them also money. Well into the 16th century, the Japanese cast coins following Chinese models. In addition, masses of cash coins (ch'ien) imported from China were in circulation. With the beginning of modern times around 1600, a radical turn around took place. Under the government of the Tokugawa shoguns (the Edo period, 1603-1867) the island nation cut itself off almost completely from the outside world. In this time an independent Japanese culture evolved – and a coinage system of its own, whose principal feature was the simultaneous circulation of a gold and a silver currency. 1 von 12 www.sunflower.ch Japanese Empire, Edo Period, Shogun Tokugawa Ietsugu (1712-1716), Kobankin 1714, Edo Denomination: Kobankin Mint Authority: Shogun Tokugawa Ietsugu Mint: Edo (Tokyo) Year of Issue: 1714 Weight (g): 17.8 Diameter (mm): 69.5 Material: Gold Owner: Deutsche Bundesbank Japan was united towards the end of the 16th century after long years of civil war.

IMES Discussion Paper 97-E-10 November 1997 The Gold and Silver Wraps of the Edo Period -A Unique Form of Gold and Silver Coins- Kenjiro Yamaguchi* Mari Ohnuki** Abstract In the Edo Period, a unique form of money known as “Tsutsumi-kin”(the gold wraps) and “Tsutsumi-gin”(the silver wraps), which were paper-packed gold and silver coins, were commonly used as settlement media for large transactions. They were packed in traditional Japanese paper and sealed with the preparer’s stamp. On the obverse, the name of the preparer, the amount included, and the date of wrapping were written with a brush to certify their value. Wraps circulated as money at face value and no one tried to break seals nor to check the amount included, relying on the high credibility of sealers such as the Gold Mint, the Silver Mint and prestigious money changers. Gold and silver wraps were first prepared by the Gold Mint and the Silver Mint by the order of the Tokugawa Shogunate government but prestigious ryogaesho(money changers) also started to prepare the wraps backed by their high credibility since the late 17th century with the growing demand for a large- denomination currency to settle many large transactions.

    Tae Kim's Japanese guide to learning Japanese grammar file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E3%83%8... A Japanese guide to Japanese grammar Outline 1. The problem with conventional textbooks 2. A Japanese guide to Japanese grammar 3. What is not covered in this guide? 4. Suggestions 5. Requirements The problem with conventional textbooks The problem with conventional textbooks is that they often have the following goals. 1. They want readers to be able to use functional and polite Japanese as quickly as possible. 2. They don't want to scare readers away with terrifying Japanese script and Chinese characters. 3. They want to teach you how to say English phrases in Japanese. Traditionally with romance languages such as Spanish, these goals presented no problems or were nonexistent due to the similarities to English. However, because Japanese is different in just about every way down to the fundamental ways of thinking, these goals create many of the confusing textbooks you see on the market today. They are usually filled with complicated rules and countless number of grammar for specific English phrases. They also contain almost no kanji and so when you finally arrive in Japan, lo and behold, you discover you can't read menus, maps, or essentially anything at all because the book decided you weren't smart enough to memorize Chinese characters. The root of this problem lies in the fact that these textbooks try to teach you Japanese with English. They want to teach you on the first page how to say, "Hi, my name is Smith," but they don't tell you about all the arbitrary decisions that were made behind your back.

  • A Forest for a Thousand Years: Cultivating Life and Disciplining Death at Daihonzan Sōjiji, a Japanese Sōtō Zen Temple
    A Forest for a Thousand Years: Cultivating Life and Disciplining Death at Daihonzan Sōjiji, a Japanese Sōtō Zen Temple by Joshua Aaron Irizarry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Jennifer E. Robertson, Chair Professor Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Erik A. Mueggler Assistant Professor Micah L. Auerback © Joshua Aaron Irizarry 2011 For Ita Tota pulchra es, amica mea, et macula non est in te. ii Acknowledgements No work of ethnography can be accomplished without the help of a great many people who were generous of their time, patience, and trust. However, the need to protect the identities and privacy of my informants must trump all feelings of gratitude and indebtedness that I might feel. As is convention in ethnography, all individuals named in this work are pseudonyms; and all individually identifying information has been altered. Since I cannot thank individuals by name, I can only express a deep and lasting appreciation for the generosity and patience of both the clerical and lay communities of Daihonzan Sōjiji. In particular, my thanks go to the members of Sōjiji’s Baikakō and Nichiyō Sanzenkai who welcomed me into their number with friendship and a willingness to tolerate my never-ending series of questions. I am indebted to the entire clerical community at Sōjiji for their understanding, patience and willingness to help me see and understand the inner workings of a large Sōtō Zen monastery.
