Description from the seller
Japan. - 8 banknotes - "Han-Fuda 藩札" - Edo Period
These are very old banknotes issued in Japan during the Edo period..
Called "Han-Fuda 藩札"
The Edo period was unified by the “Tokugawa clan”. Therefore, there is naturally a common currency. However, the unique banknotes of local “Han 藩” were also often used in those days. Many were issued on the occasion of financial difficulties. After the Meiji era, “Han-Fuda 藩札” were banned.
Size: 15×4cm - 15.5×3.5cm
◆銀壱匁 Gin-Ichi-Monme
In the mid-to-late Edo period, one gold ryo (一両 Ichiryo) was equivalent to 60 monme of silver.
One gold ryo is approximately 75,000 yen today.
One silver monme(銀壱匁 Gin-Ichi-Monme) = 75,000 yen / 60 monmes = 1,250 yen
◆出雲 Izumo
Izumo refers to the region centered on eastern Shimane Prefecture, where mythology and history thrive. It is particularly famous as the setting for the myths in the Kojiki, with Izumo Taisha Shrine—dedicated to the matchmaking deity Ōkuninushi no Ōkami—as its symbol. Known as the “Land Where the Gods Gather,” it was a region where the powerful Izumo clan flourished in ancient times. Its name is said to derive from the appearance of beautiful clouds rising up. It is a land possessing a unique culture where rich nature, mythology, and history blend together.
These are old and have some stains and tears. However, the illustrations and text are decipherable.
These are wonderful items. Old things are so beautiful.
Carefully packaged and shipped from Japan to overseas.
