Lead	WWII IMPERIAL JAPANESE MEDAL LOT RISING SUN WW2
Description	Lot of WWII Japanese medals to include 1) ORDER OF THE RISING SUN, 4TH CLASS. The Order of the Rising Sun ("Kyokujitsusho"), established in 1875 as Japan’s first national decoration, could be awarded to either military or civilian personnel for meritorious service. There were eight classes to this order, of which only the lowest two were given to enlisted personnel. Foreigners, on occasion, could also be bestowed the award. This medal, the forth of the eight classes, is in the form of a "sun," in gold plated silver, upon which are enameled thirty-two white "rays," eight long with three short separating each, all emanating from a, red garnet center. The reverse is identical to the obverse. The uppermost ray is hinged to a three-lobed spray of jade green enameled Paulownia leaves, outlined and with its veins articulated in gold to the obverse, outlined and with a row of four golden kanji characters to the reverse, which translate to "Order of Merit Decoration." The leaves are surmounted by three sets of purple enameled and golden outlined Paulownia flowers on green stalks, seven to the center and five to each side, obverse and reverse. Through a perforated ball atop the uppermost, central flower passes the ribbon’s suspension ring. Fed unto the ring is a watered silk ribbon, in white with crimson edges, with an elongated, vertical alloy hook to its top, which folds down and mates with an alloy eye sewn near the base of its reverse. 2) TAISHO ENTHRONEMENT MEDAL 1915. The Taisho Enthronement Commemorative Medal was instituted on August 13, 1915 and awarded to those who participated in the celebration ceremonies. Silver with a gilt chrysanthemum, measuring 30.5 mm in diameter. Original ribbon with hook. 3) ORDER OF THE RISING SUN, 8TH CLASS. The Order of the Rising Sun ("Kyokujitsusho"), established in 1875 as Japan’s first national decoration, could be awarded to either military or civilian personnel for meritorious service. There were eight classes to this order, of which only the lowest two were given to enlisted personnel. Foreigners, on occasion, could also be bestowed the award. This medal, the eighth of the eight classes, is in the form of a three-lobed spray of silver Paulownia leaves, with its veins articulated to the obverse, and with a row of four golden kanji characters to the reverse, which translate to "Order of Merit Decoration." The leaves are surmounted by three sets of silver Paulownia flowers on stalks, five to the center and three to each side. Through a perforated ball atop the uppermost, the central flower passes the ribbon’s suspension ring. Fed unto the ring is a wide watered silk ribbon, in white with crimson edges, with an elongated, vertical alloy hook to its top, which folds down and mates with an alloy eye sewn near the base of its reverse. 4) 1914-1920 WAR MEDAL. The 30mm diameter blackened bronze medal features, to its obverse, two crossed Rising Sun flags (for the Army and Navy) beneath a sixteen-petaled Imperial Chrysanthemum, with Paulownia flowers and leaves arching along the base. To its reverse are embossed three columns of kanji characters, which translate to "Taisho era 3rd-9th Years War" (1914-1920). This is in reference to the Japanese involvement in the First World War, and beyond it to include actions in Siberia (Japanese troops, following the Bolshevik revolution, occupied Vladivostok until 1922). A swiveling hanger is connected to its top, which is itself then connected to a swiveling horizontal bar, through which the ribbon is looped. To the face of the bar is embossed a row of four kanji characters, translating to "War Medal." 5) 1894-1895 SINO-JAPANESE WAR MEDAL. The 30mm diameter, darkened bronze medal (struck from captured Chinese cannons) features, to its obverse, two crossed Rising Sun flags (for the Army and Navy) beneath a sixteen-petaled Imperial Chrysanthemum. Kanji characters are embossed to its reverse, those to the center reading "War Medal," while those arching over that read (from right to left) "Meiji era 27th-28th Years" (1894-1895). This medal, established in October of 1895, commemorates the conflict between Japan and China, during the aforementioned dates, for the control of Korea. A swiveling hanger is connected to its top, which is itself then connected to a swiveling horizontal bar, through which the ribbon is looped. The 38mm wide, watered silk ribbon has three equal vertical stripes to it, in blue-green, white, and blue-green. An elongated, vertical alloy hook is to its top, which folds down and mates with an alloy eye sewn near the base of its reverse. The ribbon exhibits moderate to heavy age soiling, although the medal itself is only lightly aged soiled. 6) MEN’S RED CROSS ‘SPECIAL MEMBERSHIP’ MEDAL. A 3cm diameter alloy medal, with a clasp to its top through which is fed a ring for its ribbon. To the obverse face of the medal is what appears to be a peacock above a Baltic cross, with olive or laurel branches arching up either side, and three-lobed flowering Paulownias to the base of each branch. To the reverse are two lines of kanji characters. Its red moire ribbon features two vertical silver stripes to either edge, a rosette and a brass hook-and-eye device to its reverse.
