📖 History and Significance:
Issued by the Bank of Japan (Nippon Ginko) before and during World War II, this set captures a nation in the midst of massive historical shifts. As the war progressed and metal shortages became severe, the Japanese government was forced to replace silver and bronze coins with these small-denomination fractional paper notes (Sen). The 100 Yen note represents the higher-end currency of the era, circulating through the end of the war and into the beginning of the Allied occupation.

🎨 Design Details:
This bundle is a beautiful showcase of Japanese cultural heritage. The 100 Yen features Prince Shōtoku and the ancient Hōryū-ji temple. The fractional Sen notes display powerful national symbols: the 5 Sen highlights the samurai statue of Kusunoki Masashige, the 10 Sen depicts the ornate Yōmeimon Gate at Nikkō, and the 50 Sen features the iconic torii gate of the Yasukuni Shrine with a majestic, classic view of Mount Fuji on the reverse.
