This 1 monme han-satsu note was issued by the Bitchu Asomori Domain in Bizen Province, now part of Okayama Prefecture, during the Edo period. It features the currency used by the domain, with a unique design that reflects the historical and cultural context of the time.
The note is in fair condition, showing some signs of age and wear. The Asomori Domain, a feudal domain led by the Kinoshita family (related to Nene, the sister of Toyotomi Hideyoshi), and the birthplace of notable figures like Ogata Kōan, adds historical significance to this piece.
A great collectible item for those interested in Japanese feudal history and old currency.
