Issued July 3, 2024, as part of the Bank of Japan's first redesign in 20 years. Umeko Tsuda was a pioneering advocate for women's education in Japan, establishing Tsuda University as a center of women's higher learning. The reverse wisteria flowers represent both natural beauty and cultural significance in Japanese art and literature. The note features the same revolutionary 3D holographic portraiture as the other new denominations, with dynamic tilting effects creating patterns and numerals that shift when viewed from different angles. Additional security includes watermarks, latent images, and intaglio textures.
