| Research Abstract |
I researched paper money issued in either Edo period and early Meiji period at some institutions . In addition to domestic institutions such as National Institute of Japanese Literature, I also visited the British Museum for promoting international academic exchange through my research of its collection. Specifying issuer and year of issuance of each bill, I made an effort to cite sources. It is because most of the catalogues had not referred the resources. To make use of wide variety of information each bill has, I tried to decipher sentences either written or stamped in seal script as much as possible. As a result of that, it could be confirmed that the information would be effective for analysis of paper money.
