Oil-Blotting Paper looks like a 10,000 Yen Bill
Who doesn't want to wipe their sweat with a 10,000 yen bill? Now, thanks to a new beauty product by toymaker Bandai, you can. Their new oil-blotting papers are named Fukuzawa Yukichi after the famous founder of Keio University whom you'll find on the 10,000 yen bill—the biggest bill in Japan, roughly equivalent to $100. Except the characters are a little different: the oil-blotter uses the character for "wipe" to spell out Fuku and the character for "oil" to spell Yu.
It comes in a wallet-shaped case and is sold in convenience stores nationwide—20 big ones for 315 yen. I love how Yukichi is depicting wiping sweat off his forehead.
