And with document though not the award document but rather the Japanese "permission to accept and wear" document. (Sorry, it is so big that I had to scan it in two pieces and glue the scans together.)

To Army Infantry Captain 7th Rank and holder of the 6th Order of Merit Saige Shoji, 1 March Showa 9 (= 1934 CE).

Hi everyone!

OK, you all know what I'm going to ask... LOL!

Can someone write the Kanji characters here so I can copy them into my database? Also, the Japanese pronunciation?

Thanks in advance!

Actually these kanji can be found on the box lid (post #2)

5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th kanji top-down

But I can't post them now since I am on this mobile nonsense ...
