922F Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Nick, You are out-doing yourself!! My cordial thanks for your post 50 close-up. Prime Minister Giichi Tanaka certainly appears to wear a Bulgarian St. Alexander Order star. While I cannot make out individual letters, this opinion based not only on general star format but motto ring borders plus motto letter spacing and wreath spray. Perhaps he received it while in Russia after the First Sino-Japanese War??All the very best!! Edited July 16, 2012 by 922F
JapanX Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 While I cannot make out individual letters, this opinion based not only on general star format but motto ring borders plus motto letter spacing and wreath spray. Completely agree
drclaw Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Beautiful Nick! Thanks for posting these. Public Prosecutor General Suzuki looks like an especially cheerful chap. Must be his role as Lord High Executioner ...
pieter1012 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Giichi Tanaka became Baron in 1920 and is therefore not listed in the Peerage of Japan book of 1912. Unfortunately, there are no later publications of this Peerage book. When he was in St. Petersburg in 1898 to study the Russian army, he was still of junior rank and unlikely to receive a grandcross. General Tanaka probably received most of his foreign orders when he was Prime Minister from April1927 till July 1929, as he was then concurrently the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Pieter

JapanX Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 ... another cavalier of Striped Tiger Order
JapanX Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 The Cavalier name is unknown to us, but the order looks familiar
JapanX Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 Another portion of double dragons and striped tigers. Can`t figure out the name of the cavalier 仙波太郎は安政二年
