Egorka Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Hello! I have been lately feeling romantic and after having read some haiku I decided to indulge in expanding my Japanese collection. So I am looking for opinion and dating on this order of Rising Sun 5th class. I think it is around 1970s.

JapanX Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 More like 1939-1945 (judging by the case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egorka Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 A-ha! The era is Showa, but the silverfish lettering indicates it is the war period (material economy). Am I right? But that is the box. What can be said about the order it self? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The actual reason for silver kanji is still unknown (at least to me). As for the badge (as always no 100% guarantee) it fits the case (more or less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egorka Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hello! I also got neat card set together with the order. Can someone tell me when the cards were printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Nice set of 10 (postcards). No exact date, but it was issued before 1936. Most likely somewhere between 1930 and 1935.
