Miniature castle built with bill fragments worth 500 mil. yen

An employee at the Bank of Japan's Oita branch in the southwestern Japan city holds a cardboard bust of Fukuzawa Yukichi, whose portrait is used on the 10,000 yen note, beside a miniature of Funai Castle in the city that was lost to fire during the Edo period (1603-1867). The miniature castle, which was created by using fragments of old banknotes worth some 500 million yen ($4.46 million) will be exhibited to mark the resumption of public visits to the branch following a one-year hiatus due to disaster-preparation building works.
