Centenary of Central Bank System
Issued on October 12, 1982 (Showa 57)

Centenary of Central Bank System Issued on October 12, 1982 (Showa 57) The Bank of Japan, the central bank of Japan, was established in 1882. The Bank of Japan Law was partially amended in 1949 (Showa 24) after World War II. As a result of the rapid progress of financial liberalization and globalization since the latter half of the 1980s, the New Bank of Japan Law was enacted in June 1997 and came into effect in April 1998. The stamp was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Bank of Japan, and was designed by Yasuji Inoue, "Snow of the Bank of Japan near Eitai Bridge".
