Rogi Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Currently I'm compiling a list and taking down and trying to find as many photos of recipients of the Order of Takovo, I thought of sharing and opening up the floor to anyone who has any photos Its a rare sight to see Japanese wearing many foreign orders. (at least to me) and I havn't seen many wearing Serbian decorations, so I'd like to bring to light a little known section of recipients first may I present, General Kusunose Yukihiko I'll add more names to the list as I find photos associated with them Your comments and input are greatly appreciated Igor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogi Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Info. so far from my friend he is a savior on this one: The Japanese party (7 members in total) wihich accompanied Prince Yorihito were given Orders by "Serbian Emperor" (King most likely ) at Hotel Serbian Crown in Beograd at 1:00pm on March 18, 1894 as their visit memorial. Prince was given the Order of the White Eagle The following were awarded Order of Takovo: Mr. Shogo Nagasaki - Secretary of Minister of Imperial Household Mr. Munemitsu Mutsu - Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Hisamoto Hijikata - Minister of Imperial Household My recent photo up there adds another name to the list: General Kusunose Yukihiko who was part of this party in 1894 That's the info. I have so far, I'm searching through a couple web pages for their biographies and gallery to see if I can't spot some more photos of Orders of Takovo.
