    Very comprehensive showing of these types of badges. Thanks for putting in the time to photo and post these.

    Would be great if there were more info on the association itself. I wonder what they did or what they stood for? Were they similar to the association that used the 3-legged crow badges or were they a Veteran's club? Seems like there were many of these types of clubs/associations in japan...possibly a cultural phenomenon related thing in Japan.

    Either way, nice to see variations of this badge and hopefully it'll lead to more research!

    Most likely it was a para-military youth organization (from what I heard) ...

    Design of the badges clearly shows to what this organization prepared its members ;)

    The structure of the organization must be pretty close to Reservist league (Teikoku Zaiko Gunjin Kai).

    During same time period we observe similar "clubs" in USSR and Germany ;)

    Another regular member badge with insciption at reverse and with additional paper.

    The only thing I couldn`t figure out for whom this badges (and association) were intended: for youngster`s or for woman. For both? :) Any thoughts that are backed up with hard evidence? ;)
