Chiossone died in 1898, nearly half a century before this note was issued, but the Bank of Japan had been relying on his engraved designs since the Meiji period — the plates were simply reused and adapted long after his death. An Italian employed by the Meiji government in 1875 to modernize Japan's printing and engraving capabilities, Chiossone trained an entire generation of Japanese engravers before dying in Yokohama.
The 1943–44 dating reflects wartime austerity pressures on paper and ink supply, and the Cabinet Printing Bureau was managing increasing material shortages by this point in the Pacific War.
