| Obverse description | This tall, narrow hansatsu-style local note is printed in black ink on aged mulberry paper, with a dense decorative border of interlocking key-fret (sayagata) patterns framing the entire field. At the upper portion, a vignette of two court or deity figures is rendered in a woodblock print style, flanked by stylized phoenix or crane motifs. The central area carries the denomination inscription in bold kanji characters within a plain rectangular panel, below which a lower register displays a tightly ruled grid cartouche, likely serving as an issuer or control block. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on the same aged mulberry paper and displays a faint all-over diaper underprint of geometric and floral woodblock patterns across the full field, largely worn and indistinct. At the lower portion, a vertical column of bold cursive brush-script characters in black ink is applied within a ruled rectangular panel, likely representing the issuing merchant house, domain authority, or a guarantor's inscription. |
