The Minbushō — the civil finance ministry established in the early Meiji reorganization — issued these gold-denominated notes as part of Japan's first attempt to create a unified national paper currency after centuries of fragmented feudal monetary systems. The "bu" was a traditional subdivision of the ryō, a pre-Meiji gold unit, and these notes were denominated in it precisely because the new government needed the public to trust the paper as a direct gold equivalent during a period of profound monetary uncertainty.
The series was short-lived. The Meiji government rapidly consolidated its currency framework, and bu-denominated notes were superseded within a few years as the yen system took hold after 1871.
