During the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese government began issuing government bonds to raise military funds. The design of these savings bonds featured images of military aircraft, tanks, warships, and artillery shells, with inscriptions such as "China Incident" and "Greater East Asia War," highlighting the tense wartime atmosphere. The price of the bonds is prominently displayed in the center. Additionally, bonds marked with "Warimashikin-tsuki" (interest-bearing) indicate that they could be redeemed at a higher amount than the purchase price in the future.
