In recent twenty years, Yen have had a bigger role in the international money market. Yen became one main currency among them. Our research aims to cralify this Yen's role mainly from the historical and institutional view points. Our analyzes are as follows, firstly, the international financial market was split into three cores in the 1980s'. The primary factor of that was the internal structural change of American mondy market. The other main factor was the same change of Japanese money market. Secondary, the split brought the instability on the international monetary system and Yen was the main playr that made the system unstable.
