National Printing Bureau
At the time, banknote printing was outsourced to the United States and Germany, as Japan did not have the required facilities for domestic production.These included the production of banknotes, securities, postage stamps, and typographic printing.[2] The NPB includes a Head Office, Research Institute, Government Publications Service Center, and several production plants.The head office includes strategic planning, evaluation and auditing, security products, information products, research and development, general affairs, human resources, and finance and accounting departments.[4] The Bureau's environmental philosophy is "Conduct business activities in harmony with the environment."
