It was fine but very cold. They say it would be very cold like winter and may snow tomorrow.
Today's big news was the renewal of yen 10000, yen 5000, and yen 1000 bills in 5 years. The last renewal was happened 15 years ago.
This time the face of yen 10000 will be Mr. Eiichi Shibusawa (渋沢栄一) who is regarded as the Father of Modern Economic World or Father of Japanese Capitalism. He established many companies including the first bank in Japan.
The face of yen 5000 will be Ms. Umeko Tsuda (津田梅子)who was one of the first girl students who studied in the United States, and established Tsuda College after coming back to Japan.
The face of yen 1000 will be Dr. Shibasaburo Kisasato (北里柴三郎) who found Yersinia Pestis and is regarded as Father of Bacteriology and established many medical institutions including Kisasato University.
New Japanese name of era and new bills. Sounds nice, doesn't it ?
