In 1636, the Tokugawa shogunate introduced Kan'ei Tsūhō copper coins and opened mints in Asakusa, Shiba, and Sakamoto.
Seeking to stabilize currency and finance its administration, the Edo shogunate introduced the Kan'ei Tsūhō copper coin in 1636.
Mints were strategically opened in Asakusa and Shiba in Edo, and at Sakamoto in Ōmi Province.
These coins remained in circulation for over two centuries, becoming a staple of Japan’s monetary system.
The uniform coinage facilitated domestic trade and reinforced the shogunate’s economic authority.
The Kan'ei Tsūhō issue reflects early Edo-period efforts at economic centralization and governance.
