"Turbaned Noguchi"

The Japanese 1000-yen bill has a depiction of Hideyo Noguchi on it.
Here it is.

He was a doctor and bacteriologist who discovered the agent of syphilis disease.When I was a kid, I would read his biography.


Recently folding bills is popular among some young people.
This is one kind.
"Turbaned Noguchi"



It is said , if you keep it in your wallet, you can save up your money. I don't know truth.... It may be a of urban legend...

Hi Kazumi, I just found your blog :)

Maybe because it would be a pity to unfold him....or involve really having to handle the bill rather than just automatically reaching for the cash and paying without thinking about it :)
