The 10,000 yen new bill, which the Bank of Japan, the central bank of Japan, has adopted a new design for the first time in 20 years, has been humiliated by being rejected at a local wedding.

According to local media such as Yahoo Japan on the 3rd, the past affair of Eiichi Shibusawa (1840-1931), a figure in the newly issued 10,000 yen bill, has been re-examined in July, creating an atmosphere that it is against manners to use the bill as a congratulatory money.

According to a Yahoo Japan survey, about 30 percent of Japanese said they felt it was a breach of etiquette to use banknotes with Eiichi Shibusawa on them as congratulatory money.

Social media (SNS) are spreading, saying, "It is manners to use the old book with Fukuzawa Yukichi's face instead of the new book with Shibusawa's face reminiscent of an affair at the wedding ceremony."

Eiichi Shibusawa is considered to be the mastermind of Japanese colonial era's economic exploitation in Korea, but in Japan, he is called the "father of Japanese capitalism" for his involvement in the establishment of various companies through economic bureaucrats during the Meiji period.

Although it is evaluated as leading the development of the local economy, it is also famous for women's composition such as infidelity. In particular, it is known that the private life is chaotic, such as bringing a sangan girl to a house where she lives with her wife, and it is estimated that she had children not only between her wife but also between the sangan girl and had a total of 17 children.

In a related development, local media Avema Times reported that when Shibusawa was selected as the main character of the 10,000 yen bill, there was a sarcastic comment online, saying, "It's a really amazing country to put Shibusawa on bills in an era where women's human rights and rights are required to be improved."

Mayor Susumu Kojima of Shibusawa's hometown of Fukaya City said he was "very sorry" for the controversy over the 10,000 yen bill, and began to cover it up by emphasizing Shibusawa's contribution to the establishment of a Japanese women's university for women's education.

In the Japanese wedding industry, there was also an opinion that there was no need to be entangled in these customs. An official from a wedding company advised, "It is necessary for both the organizer and the industry to change their consciousness and create their own wedding ceremony."
