It's now on the back of the new ¥1,000 banknote introduced last year.
From the Japan Mint web site: The back depicts “Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa,” one of the most famous works by the ukiyo-e artist KATSUSHIKA Hokusai in Edo era, which is highly recognized and has influenced artists around the world.

Hokusai's Great Wave print is probably the most famous art image of Japan in the world. In other countries, you'll see it on mugs and kitchen aprons.
