The Shogunate, whose finances had been ruined by Great Tenmei famine, issued emergency clan bills with the help of zaibatsu to compensate for this.

Known as the most “beautifully” printed bill.
Konoike Zaibatsu （鴻池財閥） is a Japanese Zaibatsu established in the Edo period.
It began at the end of the 16th century, when the Konoike family started brewing sake in Konoike Village, Kawabe County, Settsu Province (now Konoike, Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture).
Later, the family moved to Osaka and became a money changer, and developed into the largest Zaibatsu during the Edo period (1603-1868).
The money changer business is the origin of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.
