| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of Mount Fuji with swirling clouds in the manner of Katsushika Hokusai's woodblock print 'Fine Wind, Clear Morning' (Gaifū Kaisei), rendered in low relief at center. The legend 日本国 (State of Japan) arcs across the upper field, while the denomination 百円 (100 Yen) is inscribed in the lower field. The composition blends traditional Japanese artistic imagery with a clean, modernist layout appropriate to the commemorative issue. |
