JapanX Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Hey mate! Give some rest to poor birds. Leave Kites alone! Ok. Let’s talk about something else for a change. There is one topic I am really interested in. Modern version of order of the rising sun. What is it? How it looks like? To whom it is handed over? 8 years in faleristic circulation and we have practically no information about this modern type. Let’s try to do something about it.

JapanX Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Meet 4th class obverse What we’ve got here is photo 4th class modern rising son order in very nice quality (pity that there is no picture of reverse).
JapanX Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Looks nice! Many changes! And the sign is very thick too (in comparison to his predecessors)! At least that what I’ve been told by the lucky person that met such badge in real world. To help with the differences here is a little photo compilation.
