Japan Old Banknote Edo Period Yanagimoto clan feudal lord Tokugawa era

Description: Thank you for seeing. This banknote was issued by the Yanagimoto clan in April 1830. The Yanagimoto Domain (柳本藩, Yanagimoto-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. Its headquarters were located in what is now Tenri, Nara. This bill could be exchanged for 3.75 g of silver at the time. Size: 16cm x 4cm Japanese clan banknote history: The Edo period,the Tokugawa shogunate established a monetary system in which gold, silver, and coins were the basic currencies.These coins were circulated in large cities such as Edo, Osaka, and Kyoto and their surrounding areas.However, other domains had little means of earning the shogunate's currency other than selling rice and specialty products in Osaka and Edo.Therefore, it was not easy to secure enough currency to proceed with transactions.In particular, domains with weak financial conditions, such as domains with little annual rice tax or with no cash income other than rice, were at risk of running into financial difficulties due to natural disasters, famine, or currency shortages due to economic development.In order to improve this situation, with the permission of the Tokugawa shogunate, the issuance of han bills began. Yanagimoto clan History: Oda Yuraku (Nagamasu), the younger brother of Oda Nobunaga and famous as a tea master, fought against the eastern army at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and achieved great military success. He was given a fief of 30,000 koku. After that, he did not serve Tokugawa Ieyasu, but became a vassal of Hideyori because he was the great uncle of Toyotomi Hideyori. He fought on the Toyotomi side during the Winter Siege in Osaka, but behind the scenes he liaised with the Tokugawa side and worked behind the scenes during peace negotiations during the winter siege. Since he left the Toyotomi side just before the summer campaign, he was not charged with any crime after the war. Around the middle of the Edo period, the financial difficulties of the domain became apparent due to the sadness of being a small domain. For this reason, heavy taxes were imposed on the people of the domain, but in January 1769, during the reign of the 10th lord, Oda Hidewata , the peasants filed a strong suit against the heavy taxes. In December 1802, a revolt broke out by farmers demanding a reduction in annual tax, and many people were killed and injured in the scuffles between the Oda army and the farmers. Furthermore, in the latter half of the Edo period, the Yanagimoto residence was completely destroyed by fire in 1830, when the domain's finances were already in dire straits. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shipping: I use the Japan Post airmail to ship items.
