    I don't collect Japanese Awards but purchased what appears to be some type of Japanese medal in a mixed lot of US insigina. No sure what period or even if it is Japanese. I've attached a photo, would be interested in your comments. Kevin

    Dear Gentlemen,

     

    It's not a medal, it's an object (souvenir) made of tin a specialty of Kagoshima. すず 鹿児島 - Google 検索

     

    The three kanji 鹿児島 read Kagoshima. Kagoshima - Wikipedia

     

    You can see Sakurajima, an active volcano, Sakurajima - Wikipedia

     

    and the statue of Saigō Takamori, Saigō Takamori - Wikipedia 

     Visiting Kagoshima, Land of Saigō Takamori | Nippon.com .

     

    There is no "mon", in the center, the official flower of the city, an oleander (夾竹桃 / kyōchikutō).

     

    From my balcony, January 11 2023 :
