Baseball… I wonder why Horace Wilson and Kōma Kan are not chosen for the portraits on the banknotes… Horace Wilson… the person who brought baseball to Japan. Kōma Kan… the person who translated “baseball” as “yakyū.” Nee-san, we’re straying off the track. 456789BB 5000 45679BB 10000
Are you referring to people with a high level of contribution to society?
If we’re treating historical figures, it would be fine to consider warlords from the Sengoku period too.
In a few decades, Ohtani-san might also be considered as a candidate.
Masaoka Shiki
>>3Just being a baseball fan might not be enough of an achievement for you, Nii-chan.
Anyway, I hope you won’t adopt the glasses and mustache for ten thousand yen.
From the perspective of preventing counterfeiting, it is important to obtain as precise a photo as possible.
From the perspective of portrait sculpture, it is a portrait suitable for dignified banknotes.
The person in the portrait is widely known among the various strata of the population, and their achievements are widely recognized.
>>6So, does that mean I might have a chance at getting a portrait too?
I’d prefer around 10,000 yen.
>>10Three nameless plates, no extra charge.
>>10Do your best!
>>6Isn’t it okay to have Osamu Tezuka or Akira Toriyama?
>>12I want to balance it out and include female writers as well.
Hasegawa Chiya or something like that.
>>12I think it’s actually possible that we’ll still be using banknotes in about 50 years.
>>6Up to this point, I can agree.
It’s kind of like, “What?” here, and it’s terrible because an explanation is needed.
>>6“Stop lying, it’s always the same people.”
>>6It seems that instead of a photograph itself, they are creating a portrait and turning it into a design.
Saw it at the Mint Bureau episode of the Exploration Factory.
It seems that countries that select thinkers like Japan are rare.
I wish they hadn’t made the old 5,000 yen and the new 1,000 yen look similar.
>>8I understand… There’s 5000 yen!
It was 1000 yen…
That’s how it is…
Mr. Otani has a job offer, right?
For now, I’m working in economics, women, and science, so Hasegawa Machiko might be possible.
The great figures of the Showa era seem likely to become realistic candidates in a few decades.
In Japan, the culture of physical currency is unlikely to disappear for the time being.
There is a possibility that Takuboku Ishikawa may become a banknote.
Prince Shotoku probably only contributed by being able to listen to people’s stories really well…
There was a time when Prince Shotoku conquered all four types of cards, but I doubt today’s children would believe it…
The person who translated it as baseball is amazing…
Huh, is there a rule that I have to include something like “Who…?”
The previous Inazo Nitobe and such.
>>21The title “Bushido” by Niitobe might be famous just by name… but it seems not many people have actually read it.
Noboru
The reason why portraits are used is also interesting, isn’t it?
It’s just knowledge about hyperinflation.
If it were an ordinary person, they would translate it as “baseball”…
In the past, having a beard was considered to be more precise and complicated, but it has been overcome with advances in technology.
In the future, the conditions may be relaxed more.
It may not happen.
>>26This is, well, a reversal of causality, as the technology of those who forge has improved, making the presence or absence of facial hair or head hair not a significant difference anymore.
I think the use of people will decrease like in the Eurozone.
It’s not good at Randyverse.
Are you the one who breaks everything?
The face of a manga artist lacks dignity.
>>31Well then, should I make it a manga character…
I want to see the bills with Akutagawa and Dazai while I’m still alive.
The highest denomination bill in modern times is all bald.
Masao is saying it’s baseball before Chuma.
I’m going to climb.
Isn’t it possible for Ichiro and Ohtani?
Why not make a portrait of the monarch?
>>40Because it is a symbol and not a (clear) monarch…
Tezuka Osamu’s face is quite recognizable thanks to his hat, but it seems many people wouldn’t recognize Akira Toriyama even if shown a portrait.
If it’s a self-portrait with a gas mask, you’d totally understand it, right?
>>41On the contrary, if it becomes a banknote, it will be recognized, right?
You don’t often see the faces of people on banknotes anywhere else.
Since it’s baseball, a more literal translation would be “base ball.”
I can’t think of a woman who truly stands out as a great figure!!!
>>44The first woman who came to mind, known for her photographs, popularity, and famous achievements, was Akiko Yosano.
Since Higuchi Ichiyo was chosen, wouldn’t it be possible for us too…?
>>44Ono no Komachi!
It would be better to choose candidates that even foreigners can understand.
Beat Takeshi and so on.
I think it would be good to try having all women for once.
The number of people is just right, and I want to make it four for the maternal protection debate.
If there was a picture of Osamu Tezuka’s face in a scenario of erotic art related to “enko,” it would make my penis go weak.
Isn’t this girl seriously from the world of Powerful Pro Baseball?
I think there might be something around people like Hiratsuka Raichō, great women figures.
Manga artists are not chosen.
No matter how much it sells, it doesn’t feel like it’s by a great person.
>>52Higuchi is just an ordinary novelist, right?
>>52Hehehe… I’m surprised… I didn’t expect there to be someone so outdated that they were unaware that Osamu Tezuka’s biography is commonly found in children’s book sections these days.

>>67I really hate that children’s biographical manga doesn’t portray the bad sides of great figures.
>>69(Edison as a child, depicted in a rather mild yet somewhat concerning manner)
Akira Kurosawa and so on.
I still don’t know what Eiichi Shibusawa specifically did.
>>55The mint was created.
Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Oshii, Yoshiyuki Tomino
To be honest, I think the fact that Shibusawa has become worth ten thousand yen is because of favoritism.
>>58Dr. Kitazato is more deserving of the 10,000 yen, right?
>>58No matter how I think about it, I believe Kitazato is 10,000 yen.
>>58I didn’t know what they did until I saw it on the big river, but I think that in terms of accomplishments, they are much more persuasive than literary masters.
What kind of consideration is it? The fact that the big river has been decided to be on the banknote only means that the subject has been decided, so the causality is inverted, isn’t it?
Maybe Mr. Tanigawa will be on banknotes in about 70 years.
Shuntaro Tanikawa: “Anything goes, it’s all about that. Even that hill over there with the fine hair; I’d want to do it if I could. I wonder if I can grow big enough to reach the sky. A naked giant! But if that happens, I might end up with the sky. The sky is seductive too. Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, it gives me shivers. If I embraced the sky, I’d come right away! Please help me. I want to do it with that flower blooming there too. It’s not just that its shape resembles that. I can’t help but want to go inside. It’s not just a little; my whole small body would go in! Where do you think it goes? You can’t possibly understand that! I’m so envious of bees! Oh, how unbearable! The wind is blowing in! It’s almost as if I’m already with the wind. It touches me without even asking. It’s so gently and softly touching. Women don’t compare to it! Oh, my hair is standing on end. What are you going to do about it? My body, my feelings seem like they might melt away. I’m going to dig into the ground. It smells like earth. Water is bubbling up! Please throw some dirt on me! Grass, leaves, insects all mixed together! But that would feel just like I’m dead. It’s funny. I wonder if I want to die.”

When you look into their background, it’s generally understandable; in the end, it’s just that the users lack that knowledge.
Isn’t the person on the 10,000 yen bill someone who contributed to the development of the economy?
Also, the thousand yen bill is a scholar.
I don’t really understand the criteria for the 5,000 yen bill, but I know that the 2,000 yen bill features Shuri Castle.
>>64Since it doesn’t apply to Prince Shōtoku, it’s just an afterthought.
Speaking of which, in Sweden, they print fish on banknotes, right?
>>65Swedes are better at recognizing fish than they are at recognizing faces of other Swedes.
The reason for Eiichi Shibusawa’s rejection in 1963 was his beard.
“Eiichi Shibusawa on the banknote” returns after 61 years.https://bizgate.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO4364828011042019000000?page=2
“In August 1962, it was decided that new 1,000 yen notes would be issued within the following year, and the Ministry of Finance and Bank of Japan officials began a detailed examination of this matter in secret. This included discussions on the presence or absence of photographs or portraits of candidates, the suitability of individuals, and anti-counterfeiting measures. At the stage of the secretariat, nine candidates were chosen: Emperor Meiji, Hirobumi Ito, Tomi Iwakura, Hideyo Noguchi, Eiichi Shibusawa, Kanzo Uchimura, Soseki Natsume, Waka Kiyo-maro, and the final choice was narrowed down to Ito and Shibusawa.”“The comments from the head of the General Affairs Division of the Ministry of Finance (formerly the Ministry of Finance) at the time are as follows: (1) Cultural figures are popular among younger demographics, but they lack the gravitas suitable for banknotes compared to politicians. (2) As a human being, despite criticisms, Hirobumi Ito, who is famous both domestically and internationally and has a dignified appearance suitable for currency, is appropriate. (3) Eiichi Shibusawa is certainly a strong candidate, but he is not that well-known and his appearance is not suitable for banknotes. (4) (Note: He has no beard) While Emperor Meiji has a dignified appearance, he is mostly seen in military uniforms, so what about under the new constitution? — This was the content of the comments.”
I think that if someone were to be chosen from among manga artists several decades from now, it would probably be nobody other than Osamu Tezuka.
>>70There is no doubt about that.
At least the first one can only be Tezuka.
In a thread from a little while ago.
If a stack of bills by Osamu Tezuka appears in a serious scene of a drama or movie, it will create noise.
I heard that it’s better if the person written on the bill is not very well known.
If you call, I don’t really know what Shibusawa Eiichi, the face on the new 10,000 yen bill, did. They should have printed someone more famous. Yay! Manga is the face of Japanese culture! If the face on the new 10,000 yen bill were Osamu Tezuka, it would immediately become Tezuka’s face. Let’s start the death game! If you want this money, fight for it! Kill each other! In the death game, don’t get distracted while fighting over it… Maybe it’s just right that it’s someone I don’t know well.
>>74After actually watching the historical drama, when I see the new banknotes, I can’t help but think (but this guy had quite a wild lower body…) so it’s better not to know too many terrible episodes…
>>74That’s why it becomes a banknote after a certain amount of time has passed.
I prefer Fujiko Fujio’s F.
The person’s intentions are completely ignored.
>>76It seems like they would complain about wanting Tezuka-sensei instead of me, even if they were resurrected from hell.
>>76It doesn’t seem like there’s enough drama to make a whole book.
In that case, Shigeru Mizuki is too strong.
Well, after all, the Ministry of Finance and the Japan Mint are probably filled with too many Shibusawa followers.
I would like the Tezuka Osamu bill to have the names of representative characters included in a detailed manner to prevent counterfeiting.
In reality, there are guys in the thread, but there are really no girls.
>>85It’s because you haven’t achieved anything; don’t try to become a bill through favoritism.
If we talk about a female writer who is well-known and does not lose her status, it would be Akiko Yosano.
I think it wouldn’t be strange for a manga artist to be featured on a banknote decades from now, but by that time, cash itself might be gone.
It will end up being a lineup full of people like Ms. Nantara, who became the first woman to hold the (job title).
When Akiko Yosano’s bill is created, it seems like it will become a nameless stepping stone.
I heard that having a relatively bushy beard is important for preventing counterfeiting.
So, it’s Aoi Hayakawa…
Next time it changes, I think it will still be active, so if I assume the time after next, it might be someone like Masako Nozawa…
Next, how about something like Tokutomi Sohō?
From the perspective of preventing forgery, the bearded old man is chosen.
Isn’t a portrait unnecessary?
>>98Since it will be easier to forge, I want something to replace it.
I want to be an artist.
Yakyu…
Deep Impact and Equinox are fine.
Why not hold an open call for people who want to become portraits on banknotes?
>>104It seems that a shift away from cash is about to happen.
Since she is still active, it would be quite a while before she could be a candidate, but how about Koei’s empress?
If the currency system remains in the future, Professor Shinya Yamanaka will definitely be it.
Since I intentionally gave it an uncool number with a global consciousness, it would be better to make the face something that represents Japan.
Is it Pikachu?
I wonder if it’s difficult even if I won a Nobel Prize.
>>109The person from the blue LED diode hall!
You won’t be selected unless you become a historical figure after about 100 years of dying.
The people who win the Nobel Prize will be chosen after we are dead too.
What kind of people tend to be chosen when looking at the world?
>>112America is all politicians, huh?
There are also politicians who are military personnel or politicians who are scientists.
>>112Dictator
Speaking of which, the new banknotes have been released, but I haven’t really paid much attention to the design.
Ten-thousand yen bill, Osamu Tezuka
5000 yen bill Rumiko Takahashi
One thousand yen bill, Akira Toriyama
>>115The unity of manga artists seems to be on the brink of war.
>>115Isn’t it good with Koike Kazuo?
Because Hideyo Noguchi was chosen.
I hope to be chosen from the fields of chemistry and engineering as well.
>>117Is it Soichiro Honda?
It’s interesting to think that each person has their own reasons for being selected.
Is Heihachiro Togo no good?
I’ve heard that from the perspective of preventing counterfeiting, it’s better to have a lot of information, like having beards and such.
In recent years, women are also chosen, so it might not matter much.
I can recognize Toriyama’s self-portrait, but if a portrait was presented, I think I would wonder who this is.
>>122Does that gas mask thing turn into banknotes?
Let’s auction the right to become a banknote.
I want to use the money of completely unknown ordinary guys and ladies.
What about unono sarara?
Stop the annoying restrictions and just use the Three Great Unifiers of Japan or the Restoration Patriots.
I see, becoming emperor is also an option.
>>128Because banknotes can be treated carelessly, it’s considered disrespectful, so I think the Emperor is not featured on them.
>>129When I see how Natsume Sōseki is treated, I see that it makes sense.
If you’re talking about the face of someone I know, then it’s like the person who made the floppy disk.
>>131It can’t be Dr. Nakayama, right?
That guy isn’t an inventor or anything.
I’m glad that Prince Shōtoku and the invention of the camera just barely overlapped.
Osamu Tezuka is at a level that might just barely be possible in the next next next generation…
Do you need the faces of unknown middle-aged men and women? Isn’t it better with cats or Gundam?
>>136Counterfeit music looks easy.
Here, Takuboku…
It’s not so much that Shibusawa is bad, but that Kitasato-san’s face is too much like a 10,000 yen bill.
I feel that landscapes and such are less likely to be controversial.
There was also Prince Shotoku.
