A sign of relief ... I am still the only owner of unique "silver" piece :lol:

Yep, nice little trinket... In memory ... I wonder why? If you are right and he visited Japan in 1909, then this "souveniring" become even more puzzling. He was promoted to Field Marshal only in 1910 and went on a tour of the world (during which he visited Japan? No? Yes?) By the way, he was also a cavalier of Rising Sun Order with Paulownia Leaves.

Check out these details

Found this one in one of my large document sets. Was simply amazed by the design (especially for such simple doc) and quality of details. "Appreciation award. Upon graduation, a standing clock was donated, and this academy expresses great appreciation for that gift. Showa 14 [1939] March 24." Awarded by the Kanno Village Patriotic Youth Academy. The name of the cavalier is Takefuji Toshio.
