In May 1601, based on the suggestion by Shouemon GOTO (there are two theories that he was the same as Shozaburokoji GOTO of kinza and he was a different person) and kanbe SUEYOSHI, wealthy merchant in Hirano, Settsu Province, Ieyasu TOKUGAWA decided that Sakube YUASA in Sakai was Daikoku-Joze, and ginza was established in Fushimi, Kyoto with Joze as its head where keicho- chogin started to be minted (there are several theories about establishment period).
慶長6年（1601年）5月、徳川家康は後藤庄右衛門（金座の後藤庄三郎光次と同一人物、または別人との二説あり）および摂津国平野区の豪商末吉勘兵衛の建議により、堺の湯浅作兵衛に大黒常是と名乗らせ、常是を長とする銀座を京都の伏見に設立し、慶長丁銀の鋳造が始まった（設立時期には諸説あり）。
