The Tenmei Kikin Satsu — "Tenmei Famine Notes" — were emergency scrip issued by Sendai Domain in direct response to the Tenmei famine of 1782–1788, one of the deadliest crop failures in Edo-period Japan. Sendai, heavily dependent on rice agriculture in Tōhoku, was among the hardest-hit domains; estimates put regional mortality in the hundreds of thousands. The notes were issued as a liquidity measure when the domain's rice-based economy effectively seized.
The 15 monme denomination is an unusual fractional unit, reflecting the ad hoc nature of the issue rather than any standardized currency architecture.
