This time, we will send information on the relationship between Eiichi Shibusawa, who was selected as the portrait of the new 10,000 yen bill issued in July 2024, and Chuo-ku in several separate installments. Speaking of Eiichi Shibusawa, many people are associated with the new 10,000 yen bill, but few people may be able to come when they hear "the connection between Eiichi Shibusawa and Chuo-ku". In fact, Eiichi Shibusawa lived in Kabuto-cho at some time, and it has a very close relationship with Chuo-ku.
