Japan's first major banknote redesign in twenty years, this series introduced 3D hologram technology new to Japanese currency — a rotating image embedded into the note face rather than the flat foil strips used on predecessor issues. The National Printing Bureau developed the application domestically. Circulation began in July 2024, ending the long run of the previous 10,000-yen design that had been essentially unchanged since 2004.
The tactile marks along the short edges were reconfigured from the prior series to aid visually impaired users in distinguishing denominations — a revision driven by accessibility advocacy groups that had lobbied the Ministry of Finance for over a decade.
