Identification note: Exact date not printed; identified as the 1930s–early 1940s Prince Shōtoku type by design. Pick catalog number/subtype, printer wording, and exact building on reverse not fully confirmed from images. Dimensions not measured; condition is an approximate visual assessment. | Design matches the Bank of Japan Prince Shōtoku 10 yen type: olive/green note with Prince Shōtoku portrait at right, large 拾圓, chrysanthemum crest at top, red seals, vertical 日本銀行, and reverse temple vignette with “10 YEN” in English. This corresponds to the 1930s issue listed as Pick-45. Exact subtype (a/b) depends on signatures/watermark and block details not visible, and we cannot exclude a late wartime printing of the same design (often listed separately as P-46) without confirming subtle variety diagnostics. Dimensions and printer imprint are not verified from the images.
