Paul R Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 There were a lot of cultural exchanges over the centuries between the two countries. Korea was a part of Japan for a long time, so I am sure that the Japanese influence could be seen in things like military award design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
