Japan's feudal chiefs all issued their own money, hansatsu, in an array of incompatible denominations, but the New Currency Act of Meiji (1871) did away with these and established the yen as the new decimal currency. The former han became prefectures and their mints became private chartered banks which, however, initially retained the right to print money. For a time both the central government and these so-called "national" banks issued money; to end this, the Bank of Japan was founded in Meiji 15 (1882) and given a monopoly on controlling the money supply.

The Bank of Japan issued its first banknotes on Meiji 18 (1885), and despite some small pitfalls for example, it turned out that the konnyaku powder mixed in the paper to prevent counterfeiting made the bills a delicacy for rats,the run was largely successful. In 1897 Japan joined the gold standard and in 1899 the former "national" banknotes were formally phased out.WKI

The Bank of Japan has continued ever since,
The Bank of Japan is headquartered in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, on the site of a former gold mint (the Kinza) and, not coincidentally, near the famous Ginza district, whose name means "silver mint". Despite featuring a Neo-baroque building from 1896 designed by Tatsuno Kingo, the Tokyo headquarters is a bit off the tourist track, and the better-placed Osaka branch in Nakanoshima is generally regarded as the symbol of the bank.
