    "description_ja": "明治新政府は、近代国家を建設するにあたり、幕末の乱れた貨幣制度を立て直す必要があると考え、先進諸国の貨幣に劣らない貨幣を製造するため、大阪に造幣局を設立しました。造幣局は、明治4年（1871年）4月4日に創業式を行い、その当時としては画期的な洋式設備によって貨幣の製造を開始し、明治初期におりる近代工業をわが国へ紹介する役割を果たしました。",
    "description_en": "In building a modern state, the new Meiji government judged that it had to repair the currency system left in disorder at the end of the Edo period, and it set up the Mint in Osaka to produce coins that would match those of the leading countries. The Mint held its opening ceremony on 4 April Meiji 4 (1871) and began striking coins with Western equipment that was groundbreaking for the time, which served to introduce modern industry to Japan in the early Meiji years.",
    "description_ko": "메이지 신정부는 근대국가를 세우면서 막부 말기에 흐트러진 화폐 제도를 바로잡아야 한다고 보고, 선진국 화폐에 뒤지지 않는 화폐를 만들기 위해 오사카에 조폐국을 세웠어요. 조폐국은 메이지 4년(1871) 4월 4일 창업식을 열고 당시로서는 획기적인 서양식 설비로 화폐 제조를 시작했고, 메이지 초기 일본에 근대 공업을 소개하는 역할을 했어요.",
