Von Thronstahl Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Can you help me with Japan medal he wears. I know it is Order of the Rising sun but I am not sure which grade. 3rd, 4th or 5th? This cardboard photo was taken in Wien. Considering the paper, it is probably from the 1890ies. Can you tell me is he a soldier or ambassador maybe? I am not familiar with Japanese uniforms so any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This army officer (most likely captain) is wearing order of the rising sun 5th or 6th class. Could be a graduate from german/austrian military school. Another possibility - assistant military attache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
