JapanX Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 Another addition to our gallery 2nd class rising sun in brand new Tamatebako Miyake Mint tassels
PATOUT Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Hello to all, In complement with the previous talking about, i wish to show you a 7th class sacred tresure in tamatebako miyake (with unpacked tassels). It belonged to an police officer who was in charge to assure the protection of crown prince Hiro Hito (not still emperor) during his visit in Paris june 2nd 1921. This police officer was decorated a few days after the visit of H.Hito : june 7th 1921. Patout
JapanX Posted October 29, 2016 Author Posted October 29, 2016 Exellent set Patout! If possible please post close-up`s of order (obverse and reverse). Regards, Nick
PATOUT Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks a lot Nick for your answer, Here are close-up of each side of the medal as requested.... what I understand and what I don't know about this medal !! The central mirror is rather wide and corresponds well to a manufacturing of the era Taisho as I learnt by reading Nick's previous comments... There is a trademark "t" in the back, but I do not know to what it corresponds.On the other hand there is no kanji inside the lid... Nick is it because these a lower class ?? Thank you by anticipation for your answer. Regard Patout

Same story with two lower classes of rising sun order. Just now, PATOUT said: The central mirror is rather wide and corresponds well to a manufacturing of the era Taisho as I learnt by reading Nick's previous comments... There is a trademark "t" in the back, but I do not know to what it corresponds Unknown maker (as per today) that was active between November 1915 and December 1921. Nice pictures! Many thanks! Best, Nick Edited October 31, 2016 by JapanX
PATOUT Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Hello to all I have this small box in my collection without to be able to knowing to what it corresponds and for what ? : medal or badge. It seems to be in relation with the visit of prince of Wales (future Edward VIII) in 1923 in Japan... may be for English crown prince security forces ?... but am I right ? NB : The 3rd class medal is here to indicate the side of this small box If someone can help me to translate the inscription on the lid... i'll have the answer ... or half of the answer (and it will be already very well). Thanks to all who can help me. Regards Patout
JapanX Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) The inscriptions reads 東京市 - Tokyo city Look like presentation box for some memento connected with all these visits in the early 20s. Regards, Nick P.S. Nice 3rd class pillars Edited November 3, 2016 by JapanX

Big thank you Nick for this documented and fast answer. It's a real pleasure to correspond with somebody competent and who don't hesitate to take some time to help other collectors who share the same passion. PS : I'm Lucky to have some "pillars" but unfortunately only in the lower classes : 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th classe, but all in nice condition. Thanks and regards Patout

By the way, it`s interesting how they tried to translate his name Fournon in japanese. In document we see 佛蘭西國人 (France / France people ) and his name in katakana フIルノソヲ Not very close I would expect something like フォアノン Cheers, Nick

PATOUT Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Hello to all, dear friends collectors, I'm French and new on this forum. Above all I wanted to thank you all for the very high quality of this site and the big wealth of the information wich we find here. It's for me a gold mine of very useful informations. One particular thought for Nick who is always here to help the collector in distress, it is really ...."the pillar of site".... Unfortunately we have no site of this level in France.... In answerd to Nick's article about Tamatebako Miyaké : "If you have additional examples...please post them here". I want to present you a 2nd class sacred treaser from Taisho era. It is in every respect similar to that of Nick except for the "swan" mark (mine have not). Regards Patout
JapanX Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 Great orders. Thanks for posting these pictures
PATOUT Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Hello Nick, Always about Tamatebako Miyake…. I have in my collection a sacred treasure 7th class with a T.M. case (already presented on this forum) but I have never seen a case of T.M. for a 8th class sacred treasure .!! so do you think ? do you know ? if the 8th class had existed with this kind of box ? and same question about rising sun, what is the lowest class existing for this type of case ? It seems to me that the lower classes are the hardest to find, and for my part I have never seen a case T.M. for a class lower than the 6th class for the order of the rising sun and for a class lower than the 7th class for the sacred treasure. Regards Patout
JapanX Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 As far as I remember these cases were manufactured for all classes of RS and ST orders (from 1st to 8th).
PATOUT Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Hello Nick Thanks a lot for this informations I’ve never seen a box in eighth grade in Rising sun or sacred treasure... have you seen one ? or have you one in your collection ? Regards Patout
JapanX Posted July 4, 2019 Author Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Here it is. Edited July 4, 2019 by JapanX
