I enjoy watching your collection grow, I am liking these Japanese medals more and more.
Cheers, Pat
Thanks, Patrick!
The purple tassles with cherry blossom badge is for bereaved families. They could apply for it when their son, husband, father, etc. died in service to the emperor. More info can be found here:

The correct box is shown here (post #13) and can periodically be obtained on Ebay should you wish one in the future.

Hi Guy,
One [kendo/jukendo qualification badge] sold for $330 on the Guild... but based on how cheaply I've put together this collection, I think that's ridiculous!
There's one on ebay now with bidding at $60, but the catch is broken...
I underbid at only $110 ... and LOST. It sold for $172.49

Latest package arrived from Japan. I may move on my Japanese civil awards to make room for more military awards... Rank insignia perhaps?
