The title translates to "Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves". The Manyoshu contains over 4,500 poems written between the 4th and 8th centuries. The poems cover a range of topics, including daily life, nature, love, and grief.

Date of Issue: July 3. 2024
Material: made from mitsumata (Edgeworthia papyrifera or Oriental paperbush), abaca pulp, and other fibers, giving the finished product a unique coloring and texture.
Printing type: The main designs on banknotes, including the portrait, are printed using the intaglio printing method. Specifically, for the denomination numerals and the Japanese text (Bank of Japan note), a technique known as intaglio printing is employed, where ink is applied thickly to create a greater relief.
Security features: High definition hologram - In addition to the current type of watermark, a high-definition watermark has been newly added. The portrait is surrounded by a continuous pattern composed of intricate lines.
3-D hologram - A stripe-type hologram is newly added. New cutting-edge technology is used, and it can be used to rotate the portrait in 3D. (This technology has been adopted for the first time in banknotes in the world).
Latent images - When tilting a note, the denomination “5000” appears on the front side, and “NIPPON” appears on the back side.
Pearl ink - Not visible from the front, but when tilting a note, a pink pattern emerges at the center of either end of the note.
Microprinting - “NIPPONGINKO” is printed in microscript that cannot be easily reproduced on color copy machines.
Tectile Marks - Tactile marks by intaglio printing with a textured feeling are employed to help the visually impaired individuals distinguish different notes with their fingers.
Watermark bar pattern - Watermarks in bar patterns are embedded in the paper.
Luminescent Ink - When ultraviolet light is shone on a note, the seal of the Governor of the Bank of Japan on the front side, and part of the background pattern on either side, become luminous.
Printer: National Printing Bureau.
