The 1000 yen note at 79 × 49 mm is among the smallest-format banknotes Japan has issued in the postwar period. Produced by the National Printing Bureau under the Bank of Japan, it circulates as the workhorse denomination of daily Japanese commerce — high volume, rapid turnover, and correspondingly heavy wear rates in most surviving examples.
