Description

Beautiful "Order of the Sacred Treasure" document signed by Hirohito

DS in Japanese, one page, 23.25 x 16.5, November 3, 1975. Untranslated document in which Emperor Hirohito confers the First Class, Order of the Sacred Treasure upon a distinguished person. Includes the original wooden box. Tightly rolled and in fine condition. Established as the Order of the Meiji in 1888 by Hirohito's grandfather, the Order of the Sacred Treasure is awarded to those who have made distinguished achievements in a wide variety of civil or military services, ranging from research fields, to social work, to state and local government. These documents, by which the Emperor himself honors a citizen, become a part of the recipient's family legacy and rarely leave Japan.
