Please prepare this as soon as possible, as date and time specifications are difficult.
Kami-sen (paper money) that can be burned and placed in the coffin as a burial item (meisen) so that they won't have trouble in the afterlife. Kami-sen is a type of ancestral spirit belief, referring to paper money burned at the grave or at the eaves as an offering to ancestral spirits. Generally, meisen refers to paper money placed in the coffin when interring the deceased. A famous example of coin-shaped meisen is the Rokumon-sen (six-mon coin) printed on paper, which is placed inside a zudabukuro (monk's bag). However, Rokumon-sen printed on paper feels inadequate... but real banknotes or coins cannot be used. Some families wish to give their deceased loved ones real money so they won't have trouble crossing the Sanzu River, but this is actually difficult. Burning current currency is illegal and cannot be placed in a coffin for cremation.
This is a paper money version of Rokumon-sen. Kami-sen / Meisen. Kami-sen is something that can be placed in the coffin as a burial item when interring the deceased.
Therefore, we have burnable meisen (paper money). While there are plain or simply designed ones, people naturally desire paper money with high-value and dignified portraits, national treasure-class buildings, or phoenixes. Of course, since it is made of paper, it can be burned. It does not violate any laws.

[Burial Items: Meisen]
In Buddhist funerals, there is something called Rokumon-sen as a burial item when interring the deceased. These burial items are buried or cremated with the deceased for reasons such as so they won't have trouble with money in the afterlife or as a toll for crossing the Sanzu River. Nowadays, real Rokumon-sen or cash are not placed in coffins as burial items. They are strictly restricted by law (currency damage) and can cause equipment malfunctions.
