I wonder how the adjustment was received by the people, at the time. I&#039;ve read fictional books set in this time period that indicated that Japan was going through something of an identity crisis - with tradition having it out with innovation. - <i>not to say the crisis was fictional, just the story I was reading.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Could this rightly be described as one of those times when you can spot a major culture adjustment on their monetary system, or am I reading too much into it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
